Downloading and Installation

Installation Through the Update Site (Recommended)

• Make sure you have Java 7 or 8 installed (especially on MacOS; JDK 7 is recommended)
• First-time install in Eclipse:
  • Select Help -> Install New Software... -> Add
    • Name: jUCMNav
    • Location: http://jucmnav.softwareengineering.ca/jucmnav/updatesite/
  • See this installation video (for Eclipse Luna) the animated Installation Demo (for Eclipse 3.5)

• Update in Eclipse
  • Select Help -> Check for Updates
  • Select the jUCMNav update site from your list

• Important Notes
  • Using the update site is required if you want the MSC Viewer plugin and CSM export plugin to be installed properly.
  • Afterwards, the jUCMNav plugin can be updated manually from our Latest Build, if you feel adventurous!
    • Save the .jar file to replace your eclipse/plugins/seg.jUCMNav_6.0.0.jar plug-in (or whatever last version you have installed)
  • Eclipse does not allow automatic upgrades between major revisions. jUCMNav v5.* will need to be uninstalled before proceeding with the installation of jUCMNav v6.*
