Check on the Features and Requirements page that you meet all the requirements you need to run (and possibly build) TRex. TRex is built automatically every night. We currently do not provide official releases, but the nightly builds are reasonably stable so we encourage everyone to use them.
Standalone Version
The standalone TRex version is a ready to go version for people who are new to Eclipse or who don't want any installation trouble. It is designed to work out of the box. The daily product builds for Windows and Linux can be downloaded here:
- Windows (32-Bit, bundled with JRE): http://www.trex.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/nightly/trex_windows-latest.exe
- Linux (32-Bit, bundled with JRE): http://www.trex.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/nightly/trex_linux-latest.sh
All product builds bundle a recent Java Runtime and bundle Subversive (for integrated Subversion support) for convenience reasons. Mac builds and possibly 64-bit builds are currently not available and may be added later. The standalone builds are fully updateable. However, you need to run Eclipse with administrative rights to check and install updates - especially when running Windows Vista or Windows 7. To update, start TRex with right-click "Run as Administrator".
Eclipse Plugin Version
P2-enabled nightly builds of the TRex Eclipse Plugins for Eclipse 3.5 can be installed from the following update site URL:
- Update Site/Repository URL: http://www.trex.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/repository
Previous versions of Eclipse are no longer supported. There are no direct downloads as a ZIP file or similar. If you have never used Eclipse's update site facility, please read the Installing TRex via the update site documentation for more details how to install TRex using the update site.
Note: For big (industrial size) test suites, TRex needs more memory than the default Eclipse settings! You will experience unresponsiveness, java heap error messages and similar if you don't adjust it. To adjust the default upper memory limit, go to the Eclipse directory, edit the eclipse.ini file and change the line with "-Xmx256m" to "-Xmx512m". Changing this setting is always recommended when using TRex as an Eclipse Plugin!
Source
The TRex source code is available in a Subversion (SVN) repository accessible via http. The development source code can be checked-out through:
Check the Developer's Corner for instructions how to build TRex manually or automatically from the sources.
