This document covers Jtrix release 0.12. You will be reading it either on the site or from your downloaded distribution.

About the release

There are various download options available for this release. In either case there is only one download, and this is relevant for both Linux and Windows 2000. You can obtain them from http://www.jtrix.org You will also want to go there to pick up the tutorial which explains how to use it and how to write simple Jtrix applications.

System requirements

For a binary distribution you only need the Java 1.3.1 runtime environment installed. See below for some URLs of where to get this.

For the source distribution you will need both JDK 1.3.1 and the Ant build tool, version 1.2. (See below for URL.) On Linux we also recommend you have the following:

  • ctags-exuberant (for building tag files)
  • dia (for diagramming)
  • g++ (2.95.2) (for building the VM-accounting plugin)
