DEFT (general)

DEFT for UML Specification

UML Specification example files

Requirements

DEFT has been developed for Windows. Java 1.6 is required.

If you want to use LibreOffice as integrated editor, please install LibreOffice up to version 3.3.2. Later versions will not work, unfortunately.

Sources

You can also build DEFT yourself. The sources are available under http://sourceforge.net/projects/deftproject.

You will need the Eclipse Modeling Tools for Indigo with Subclipse to download and build DEFT from source.

• Download the latest Team Project File.
  
  
• Start Eclipse. Select File→Import. In the import dialog select Team Project Set (under Team), navigate to the downloaded Team Project File and click on Finish.
  
  
• Wait. Downloading DEFT from Sourceforge via Subclipse takes an hour or two (the combination of Subclipse and Sourceforge is unfortunately very slow).
  
  
• After the code has been checked out, right-click on project org.deft and select Run As→Eclipse Application. DEFT won't work properly, yet, so you can immediately close it.
  
  
• Select Run→Run Configurations. Navigate to the Plug-ins tab of the Eclipse Application org.deft.application. Make sure all workspace plugins are selected. Uncheck Include optional dependencies. Click on Add Required Plugins. Apply and Run.
