Installing the Bean Validator

You can run the Bean Validator in VisualAge for Java or as a stand-alone tool. If you want to run the Bean Validator in both environments, follow the directions under Installing in VisualAge for Java.

The Bean Validator has been tested on these platforms:

The Bean Validator plug-in tool requires:

To install the Bean Validator plug-in tool, unzip validator120.zip to the IBMVJava\IDE\TOOLS directory. If you do not have a zip tool, you can use the JDK jar tool. Enter the command: jar xvf validator120.zip to inflate the zip file in the current directory.

Installing as a Stand-alone Tool

The Bean Validator stand-alone tool requires:

JDK 1.1.6
