Installation

Prerequisites

FOPPS comes in two flavours: Binary and source distribution

The binary one contains only the compiled class files and the needed libraries (jdom and xerces at this time). The source distribution on the other hand contains java sources instead of the class files.

You need JDK 1.3, since V0.18 JDK 1.4 is mandatory.

If you are using the source distribution, you also need ant. I'm using 1.5.1, but older versions should also work.

For those who like to play with the test cases: JUnit is not part of the distribution. You have to download it from junit.org
