Requality Installation¶

To install the latest stable version of Requality, please use the following update site:
http://forge.ispras.ru/repo/requality/site/

System requirements¶

1. Windows and Linux (both x86 and x86-64) are supported. Please note if you use Windows x86-64, all the tools have to be x86 (32-bits), because there is no supported browser engine for Windows x86-64, that could be integrated into Eclipse.
2. Sun/Oracle Java SE 6.0.
3. Eclipse Platform 3.5, (3.7.2 recommended). You can use any Eclipse package ( e.g. Eclipse Standard).
4. XULRunner 1.9.2.19 (currently Eclipse doesn’t support XULRunner 2.0 and later). For Linux you can use WebKit instead of XULRunner.
5. EGit (recommended), Subversive 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 you use Java 7, turn on backward compatibility mode by adding the following string to the end of ''eclipse.ini'' file
-Djava.util.Arrays.useLegacyMergeSort=true

Browser integration to Eclipse¶

Requality requires a browser engine to be integrated with Eclipse. Mozilla Foundation XULRunner and WebKit are supported.

Download XULRunner archive from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/1.9.2.19/runtimes/.
Unpack the archive to any convenient place and add the following string to the end of ''eclipse.ini'' file:
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=<path to XULRunner>
For example, if XULRunner was unpacked to C:\xulrunner, the string should be:
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=C:\xulrunner

Alternatively, on Linux you can use WebKit. To install it on Ubuntu you should install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 package, e.g.:
sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0

Installation of plugin for interaction with control version system¶

Version control system provides support for collobarative work with requirements. Check if there are plugins to interact with chosen version control system (Subversion, git and others) in Eclipse. If needed, appropriate plugin could be installed from Eclipse repository. In the case of Subversion it is recommended to use Subversive plugin (Subclipse plugin is not recommended).
