How to

Install

Download it, click on datamodeling.exe and if you are asked to enter the full pathname for java.exe, click Browse and find java.exe. For example, on a Windows system the path might have a name similar to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_06\bin\java.exe.

64 bit

You must modify the path of your 64 bit JDK in the datamodeler_home\bin\datamodeler64.conf file. Oracle doesn't provide one.

Set your path as follow:

SetJavaHome C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_32

in place of

SetJavaHome ../../jdk

Otherwise you will get this error:

Unable to launch the jvm
