| NetBeans 5.5.1 UML Modeling Download and Installation Instructions </h1> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p>NetBeans 5.5.1 UML Modeling provides UML modeling <a href="../../../../features/uml/index.html">features</a> to |
| the NetBeans IDE. UML modeling allows analysts and designers to design applications using a standard modeling language. Developers |
| are then able to generate source code from the UML model and update the model from changes made in their source code.</p> |
| <p>UML Modeling can be downloaded and installed via the NetBeans Update Center. You can access the update center by clicking |
| Tools >Update Center in the main menu of the NetBeans IDE.<br> |
| <br> |
| <b>Note to Mac Users</b>: NetBeans UML Modeling is currently not supported on the Macintosh OS X platform. Please see the <a href="uml-mac-relnotes.html">Release Notes for the Mac OS platform</a> to get more information about the known issues and workarounds.</p> |

| <!-- INSTALLATION --> |
| <h2><a name="installation"></a>Downloading and Installing the Software </h2> |
| <p>This section contains instructions for downloading and installing NetBeans UML Modeling on all supported |
| platforms.</p> |
| <p><b>Note:</b> |
| If you have previously installed any Beta versions of NetBeans UML Modeling, you do not need to uninstall the Beta |
| version. However, there will be some slight differences in the latter part of the installation process and these will be noted in the steps below.</p> |
| |
| <!-- RELEASE_UC --> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Click Tools > Update Center from the main menu of the IDE.<br> |

| <br></li> |
| <li>In the Select Location of Modules page, select the NetBeans |
| Update Center checkbox, if it is not already selected.<br><br></li> |
| <li>Optionally, unselect all other checkboxes to minimize the number of items in the resulting list of available modules. <br><br></li> |
| <li> Click Next.<br> |
| A progress dialog appears as the IDE connects to the the NetBeans Update |
| Center. <br> |
| <br></li> |
| <li>In the Select Modules to Install page of the Update Center |
| wizard, scroll to the UML Modeling node under the Features folder. <br><br></li> |
| <li>Select the UML Modeling module and click Add. <br> |
| All the UML Modeling module and its required dependent library modules |
| should appear in the Include in Install pane on the right.<br><br></li> |
| <li>Click More to view the UML Modeling project page.<br> |
| A separate web browser displays the UML project page.<br><br></li> |
| <li>Return to the Update Center wizard and click Next.<br><br></li> |
| <li>Read and Accept the four UML licenses.<br> |
| The Download Modules page appears and progress is shown as the modules |
| are downloaded. <br> |
| <p><b>Note:</b> If you are upgrading from a Beta version of NetBeans UML Modeling, you will not be prompted to accept the four UML licenses.</p></li> |
| <li>After the modules have been downloaded, click Next.<br> |
| The list of certificates are made available for your viewing. <br><br></li> |
| <li>Click Finish. |
| <br> |
| If you are upgrading from a Beta version of NetBeans UML Modeling, the Restart the IDE dialog appears. Proceed to the <a href= "#restart_ide1">next step</a> <br> |
| <br> |
| If you are not upgrading from a Beta version, the installation of the UML module continues. This takes a few minutes after the Update Center wizard |
| disappears. When the installation is complete, you will see the |
| message <tt>'Turning on |
| modules...done</tt>' displayed in the lower left corner of the IDE |
| window.<br><br></li> |
| <li><a name="restart_ide1"></a>From the Restart the IDE dialog, choose Restart the IDE and click OK to continue with the installation of NetBeans UML Modeling.<br> |

| |
| <!-- INCREASE_MEMORY --> |
| <br> |
| <h2><a name="Increasing_Memory_Settings"></a>Increasing Memory Settings</h2> |
| <p>The default memory settings for NetBeans should be increased when working with UML projects in the IDE. Once you have installed the UML module, use the following steps <a href="#Increasing_Memory_Settings"></a> to ensure proper memory settings in the IDE while working with UML projects. </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>From the main menu of the IDE, click Help > About and click the Detail tab.<br><br></li> |
| <li>Determine the path to the <i>NetBeans551-install-directory</i> in which you installed the NetBeans 5.5.1 IDE by locating the <code>Current Dir</code> field.<br> |
| For example, the default installation directory is <code>C:\Program |
| Files\netbeans-5.5.1 </code>on the Microsoft Windows platform.<br> |
| <br><br></li> |
| <li>Change directory to the <i>NetBeans551-install-directory</i> you identified in the previous step.<br> |
| <br></li> |
| <li>Change to the <code>etc/</code> directory. <br><br></li> |
| <li>Edit the <code>netbeans.conf</code> file.<br><br></li> |
| <li>In the <code>netbeans_default_options</code> line, change the <code>-J-Xmx128m</code> command line switch option to <code>-J-Xmx512m</code>.<br> |
| <b>Note:</b> If after completing this step you still experience heap overflows while working with larger files, |
| you should increase this value further.<br><br></li> |
