The pre-requisites for the Scribble design time tools are:
The design time tools are Java based, so you will need a suitable JVM (Java Virtual Machine) to run the tools. If you also intend to generate Java APIs, for use at runtime, then you will need a JDK (Java Development Kit).
Download the version 1.6 (or higher) from the
. Once downloaded, follow the instructions to install the JVM or JDK on your system.
The Scribble protocol descriptions can be edited using a standard text editor, and the Scribble tools can be invoked using command line tools (as described in the following chapter).
However it is also possible to use the Scribble tools from within the Eclipse IDE environment, by installing the Scribble tools as plugins. If you wish to use this approach, then you will need a version of Eclipse (3.5 or higher) which can be downloaded from the Eclipse website.
To install the command line version of the Scribble tools:
The commands can be executed from the bin folder of the Scribble tools
distribution. Alternatively, the bin folder can be
added to the execution path, to enable the commands to be performed from
any folder.
For example, on Linux running bash, simply edit the .bash_profile
file within your home directory to add:
PATH=$PATH:${path-to-scribble}/bin
