Prerequisites

The tool can work on both Windows and Unix-like platforms, and on JRE version greater or equal to Java 8.

JRE distribution

The JRE is not included in the tool distribution, so you must have a JRE available for your platform. The tool has been tested on both Java 8 and Java 17 JRE versions, on both Windows an Mac OS X platforms.

JavaFX platform

You don't need to have the JavaFX platform available for Java versions greater than Java 9 (Java 10 and greater). The tool does not have any dependencies on JavaFX libraries^[1]

The JavaFX platform is not included by default on JRE beginning with Java 10

.

Using the tool on Unix-like platforms

You can use the tool on Unix-like platforms exactly as on Windows. The GUI interface and the command-line starting modes are both available. If you prefer to use a batch file, you can do very simply, such as for example:

   #!/bin/bash
   java -jar -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 soft/docGenerator.jar -config=source/config.properties -input=source -output=wiki
