Installation

## 3 Installation

This chapter explains how to install the Jakarta XML Binding TCK software.

After installing the software according to the instructions in this chapter, proceed to Chapter 4, "Setup and Configuration," for instructions on configuring your test environment.

### 3.1 Obtaining a Compatible Implementation

Each compatible implementation (CI) will provide instructions for obtaining their implementation. Eclipse Implementation of JAXB 4.0.0 is a compatible implementation which may be obtained from https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j.jaxb-impl

### 3.2 Installing the Software

Before you can run the XML Binding TCK tests, you must install and set up the following software components:

- Java SE 11+

- A CI for XML Binding 4.0, one example is Eclipse Implementation of JAXB 4.0.0

- XML Binding TCK version 4.0, which includes:

  - The Checker Framework: checker-3.5.0.jar

- The XML Binding 4.0 Vendor Implementation (VI)

Follow these steps:

1. Install the Java SE 11+ software, if it is not already installed.
   Download and install the Java SE 11+ software from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html. Refer to the installation instructions that accompany the software for additional information.

2. Install the XML Binding TCK 4.0 software.

   1. Copy or download the XML Binding TCK software to your local system.
      You can obtain the XML Binding TCK software from the Jakarta EE site https://jakarta.ee/specifications/xml-binding/4.0.

   2. Use the `unzip` command to extract the bundle in the directory of your choice:
      `unzip jakarta-xml-binding-tck-4.0.3.zip`
      This creates the TCK directory. The TCK is the test suite home, `<TS_HOME>`.

3. Install a XML Binding 4.0 Compatible Implementation.
   A Compatible Implementation is used to validate your initial configuration and setup of the XML Binding TCK 4.0 tests, which are explained further in Chapter 4, "Setup and Configuration."
   The Compatible Implementations for XML Binding are listed on the Jakarta EE Specifications web site: https://jakarta.ee/specifications/xml-binding/4.0.

4. Install the XML Binding VI to be tested.
   Follow the installation instructions for the particular VI under test.
