General Questions/Discussions
1

My school has a school lisence for VP 3 for UML.
It works fine on various MS OS?s and on Linux…
But we cant get it to work on Mac OS X (build 10.2.8)
We hav installed the latest Java engine for OS X (1.4.1).
the install works and is ok.
But we cant seem to get the program started.

Hi Anders,

Have you tried running it from a terminal? The command is:
java -Xmx512 -classpath ./vpuml.jar;./vpumlresources.jar;./vpupdate.jar;./vp_help;./vpJavaHelp.jar RV

Hope this helps.
