Installation

To start using UCTool on a new workstation:

  1. Install JDK.
    Latest Sun/Oracle JDK (SE) is recommended. (Do not install JRE, but a full JDK.)
    Verify JDK was installed by running:
    javac -version
  2. Install Maven.
    Download Maven and review installation instructions. Version 3.0.3 is now used in development of UCTool.
    Verify Maven was installed by running:
    mvn --version
  3. Install an XML editor.
    You can use any XML editor with support for XSD.

    If you choose an IDE, you will get a single tool to perform all the tasks needed.
    Eclipse is a free, open source IDE, that is used to develop UCTool itself. It is recommended as a first choice IDE for UCTool projects.
    You can download Eclipse IDE for Java Developers here.
