Download Argo/UML Source Code


  Final Step: Start Working on Argo/UML
 


Several ways to Compile Argo/UML:

To Run Argo/UML with JDK 1.1.x:

  • If you downloaded swing111beta1.zip from java.sun.com, then you will have to unzip it to get swing-1.1.1-beta1/swing.jar
  • If you downloaded the XML4J distribution from www.alphaworks.ibm.com, then you will have to unzip or untar it to get xml4j.jar
  • Start a new command line window.
  • Set your CLASSPATH to include the following in the given order:
    • classes.zip from your JDK distribution
    • the directory argouml070
    • swing-1.1.1-beta2/swing.jar
    • xml4j.jar
  • Make sure that everything is compiled, see instruction links above.
  • Type the command:
        java uci.uml.Main

    or on some Windows Java implementations type:
        java -classpath %CLASSPATH% uci.uml.Main

To Run Argo/UML with JDK 1.2:

  • Unzip argouml.zip to get argouml.jar, and unzip XML4J.zip to get xml4j.jar. Do not unarchive these *.jar files.
  • Start a new command line window.
  • Set your CLASSPATH to include the following in the given order:
    • the directory argouml070
    • xml4j.jar
    • (note: you do not need swing.jar or classes.zip)
  • Make sure that everything is compiled, see instruction links above.
  • Type the command:
        java uci.uml.Main


Keep in Mind:

Argo/UML is a research prototype for exploring the impact of cognitive support features in CASE tools. It will evolve into a full featured CASE tool in the future, but it is not comparable to commercial CASE tools yet. If you believe in the importance of an open-source CASE tool, please help in the development of Argo/UML.
