Power*Architect Prerequisites

To run the Power*Architect you need a Java 1.5 or newer Java Runtime ("Java VM" or "JVM"). A current version of the Java VM for common platforms can be obtained from Sun Microsystems . To ensure that your JVM is up-to-date, Apple Macintosh users should use Software Update (from the Apple Menu) while others should use the Java Updater (from, e.g., the Microsoft Windows Control Panel).
