Installing and Running ECOCLASS
Prerequisites
ECOCLASS 0.3 requires a Java Runtime Environment compatible to Java
1.5 of Sun Inc. (i.e. J2SE 5.0), which can be downloaded as Sun
JRE 5.0. The Java version that comes with the GNU Compiler
Collection (gcj) is currently (March 2006) only compatible with Java
1.2 and therefore not sufficient.
Please make sure that the directory containing the java executable
has an entry in the search path ($PATH) of your computer.

Installation
- Unpack the downloaded zip-archive to a directory of your choice. This will
create a subdirectory "ecoclass", which will
be referred to as "install directory"
hereafter.
- Move the downloaded file 'database.jar' to the install
directory.
- Done.
Running the program
- Run the file "eclipse.exe" which can be found in
the install directory.
- A dialog box will pop up to let you select the working
directory. By default this should point to a subdirectory
of the install directory called
"workspace".
- After a short while the workbench will appear. If the
working directory is not empty, its content will be
displayed in the upper left subwindow. If you are running
ECOCLASS for the first time or in a new or empty working
directory, you should first complete the workbench setup, before you continue
to set up a new project.

- Move the downloaded file 'database.jar' to the install

- Change (cd) into the install directory and run the file
'prepare_dir.sh'. In rare cases it might be necessary to
set execution rights by issuing
chmod 700 prepare_dir.sh
or
chmod u+rwx prepare_dir.sh
before running the script.
