Syndeia 3.0 requires Java 8 (or higher). In this section, you will check if Java 8 is installed on your computer and is being used by the SysML modeling tools, such as MagicDraw. If not, instructions are provided to download Java 8 and use it with the SysML modeling tools.

...

  • If the value starts with Java 1.8.0, then you have Java 8 installed on your machine and MagicDraw is setup to use the same. Skip the remainder of this section and proceed to the next section 2.3.
  • If the value does not start with Java 1.8.0 (e.g. it starts with Java 1.7.0), then MagicDraw is not using Java 8.

  1. If you have a 64 bit (or 32bit) edition of the SysML tool (based on section 2.2.1 above), then you need Java 8 64 bit edition. Check if you have a folder with name starting in jre8 OR jdk1.8.0 under C:\Program Files\Java (or C:\Program Files(x86)\Java) on Windows, or under /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines on Mac OS X. If you have either of these folders, then skip the remainder of this section and continue to section 2.2.3with the next section. If not, download Java 8 64-bit edition from the link in next step.

  2. Download Java 8 from the Oracle’s website: http://goo.gl/YsXYkU (short URL) for your specific OS, as shown below. Note – use x64 installer if you have a 64-bit OS and 64-bit installation of the SysML tool, and use x86 installer if you have a 32-bit OS and 32-bit installation of the SysML tool.

     
  3. Install Java – If you have admin privileges on your machine, right click on the installer (downloaded above) and select Run as administrator (on Windows) or simply double click the executable (e.g. .dmg file on Mac OS X). If you do not have admin privileges on your machine, try running the installer to check if you can install any programs. If not, please check with your system administrator to install Java 8. 

    On Windows, if you are installing 64 bit edition, it will install under C:\Program Files\Java folder, and if you are installing 32 bit edition, it will install under C:\Program Files (x86)\Java folder. On Mac OS X, it will typically install under /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines.
