http://forge.ispras.ru/repo/requality/site/

System requirements¶

1. Windows or Linux. x86 and x64 architectures supported. If using x86 architecture all tools listed below should be x86 too. If using x64 all used tools could be x86 all or x64 all. Currently there is no supported browser engine for Windows x64, that could be integrated to Eclipse, so you should use x86 versions for Windows x64.
2. Sun/Oracle Java SE 6.0.
3. Eclipse Platform 3.5, (3.7.1 recommended). You can use Platform Runtime Binary (about 50MB) or any other package based on it.
4. XULRunner 1.9.2.19 (currently Eclipse doesn’t support XULRunner 2.0 and later) XULRunner Eclipse plugin: update site. For Linux you can use WebKit instead of XULRunner.
5. CVS, Subversive, EGit (recommended) or any other Eclipse Team Provider — it depends on your version control system.

Preparation to Requality installation¶

Eclipse installation¶

To install Eclipse unpack the archive to any convenient place. This creates an ''eclipse'' sub-directory.
If using Java 7, to turn on backward compatibility mode add following string to the end of ''eclipse.ini'' file
-Djava.util.Arrays.useLegacyMergeSort=true
Following instructions expects you to know how to install Eclipse plugins from an update site.

Browser integration to Eclipse¶

Requality requires browser engine to be integrated to Eclipse. Mozilla Foundation XULRunner and WebKit are supported.
It’s recommended to use update site (see System requirements) to install Eclipse plugin for XULRunner.
If it is unsuitable for some reason there is another way to install XULRunner:
Download XULRunner archive from page (see System requirements).
Unpack the archive to a convenient place. After that if using Windows you should register XULRunner in the system. Use following command:
''xulrunner.exe --register-global''
In Windows 7 this command should be run by administrator.
You shouldn’t install duplicate XULRunner if Mozilla Firefox has already been installed. Copy ''xulrunner.exe'' to Firefox folder and run above-mentioned command.
Or you just can add following information to the system registry (check the correctness of paths and versions!):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org\GRE]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org\GRE\1.9.2.19]
"Version"="1.9.2.19"
"GreHome"="C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox"
"xulrunner"="true"
"abi"="x86-msvc"
"javaxpcom"="1"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org\Mozilla]
"CurrentVersion"="1.9.2.19"
