-Welcome to ArgoUML!

-
-In case you just downloaded and unzipped your ArgoUML distribution,
-here's how to proceed.
-
-First, you need the runtime environment for Java (J2SE) installed, get it
-from http://www.java.com for your platform.
-
-At least a JRE 1.5 is required. Please let us know if you experience
-any JDK related problems. Try typing "java" in a console window to see
-if Java is successfully installed. You should get a list of your
-options. If not, try reinstalling Java.
-
-Now (after unpacking the distro, which you obviously have done,
-because this file was in it) you should have a bunch of .jar files
-(argouml.jar, gef.jar and others...) in your directory. Please do
-NOT unpack the .jars! Just leave them as jar files.
-
-Now you can start the argouml.jar, on a Windows platform by
-(double-)clicking it.
-Alternatively, you can type the following at a
-command line console: java -jar argouml.jar
-
-The same effect can be obtained by creating a batch-file (in the same
-dir as argouml.jar), with the following contents:
- java -jar argouml.jar
-which can then be started via a shortcut on the desktop.
-
-
-Detailed instructions in running ArgoUML from a command line console
-on Windows:
-
-Suppose that you have downloaded ArgoUML to the C: drive, so your
-directory looks like this:
- c:\ArgoUML
-Open your DOS command prompt and type
- cd \
-to set the current directory to the root. Then type:
- c\:>cd ArgoUML
-which will give you the prompt:
- c:\ArgoUML>
-Then type:
- dir
-to see everything in the ArgoUML folder. You should have the
-argouml.jar file present in this folder. Note that you need all
-downloaded jar files together in this directory.
-
-Then type
- java -jar argouml.jar
-That's it, ArgoUML should start up now.
-
-If not, there is a problem with the downloading on your computer.
-Please have a look at http://argouml.tigris.org in the FAQ
-and then consider posting an issue.
-
-
-Modules:
-
-If you downloaded the modules archive, which contains the support for
-code generation of other languages then Java, then put their jar files
-in a subdirectory named ext.
-
-
-Memory:
-
-If you have plenty of memory and wants ArgoUML to be able to handle
-anything but the smallest projects, try:
-java -Xms250M -Xmx500M -jar argouml.jar
-
-
-Batch mode:
-
-The following is an example of how ArgoUML is run in batchmode:
-java -jar argouml.jar -batch -command "org.argouml.uml.ui.ActionOpenProject=test.zargo" -command org.argouml.ui.cmd.ActionGotoDiagram=A -command "org.argouml.uml.ui.ActionSaveGraphics=test.PNG"
-Instead of "test.zargo", it may be better to include the complete path, e.g.
-c:\Documents and Settings\YourNameHere\My Documents\test.zargo
-
-
-Have fun!
