Revisions

April 21, 2016, by Michael Wetter:
Removed call to IBPSA.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData.BaseClasses.getAbsolutePath because this function calls Modelica.Utilities.Files.loadResource, which needs to be resolved at compilation time, which is difficult if it is inside a function. This is for Buildings, #506.
September 24, 2015, by Marcus Fuchs:
Replace Dymola specific annotation by loadSelector for MSL compliancy as reported by @tbeu at RWTH-EBC/AixLib#107
