JadeMOD Version 2.0 as of May 09, 2003  

JADE Application Modeller
-------------------------

JadeMOD can be installed simply by unpacking the provided ZIP-archive into a
directory of your choice (e.g. to D:\jadeMOD under Windows 
or to /home/xxxx/jadeMOD respectively to /opt/jadeMOD or /usr/jadeMOD under Linux) 
by using a tool like PKZIP, WINZIP, PowerArchiver, or WINRAR.
When unpacking you must take care, that the directory structure provided in the
ZIP file is also build up. 

JadeMOD makes no entries into the Windows Registry or the Linux "installed Package 
Database". JadeMOD therefore can be deinstalled simply by deleting the JadeMOD directory 
with all contained subdirectories.

Prerequisite to run JadeIDE is a JRE V1.4 (or better) or alternatively (if installed anyway),
a J2SDK SUN Java Development Kit V 1.4.1 (or better),  
available for free download from SUN Microsystems via URL "http://java.sun.com/getjava/".

JadeMOD is written completely in Java. Therefore it is not invoked via a JadeIDE-EXE file but
by the Java launcher (C:\...\j2re1.4.x\bin\java.exe  ).
Example invocation procedures (for the Windows environment) are provided in folder "Examples\xxxx".
Available are a "Batch File" as well as a Perl and a (IBM) REXX procedure. 
The Perls and REXX procedures are also called from a batch file (also contained in the folder!). 
The procedures of course have to be adjusted to your operating system environment.

Note: These examples use the J2SDK instead of the J2RE. 

Additional note concerning "National Language Support":

	JadeMOD is a very specific Tool for application designers. 
	It will be only provided in English.
