## 3 Installation

This chapter explains how to install the JavaBeans Activation Framework 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 the Reference Implementation

You can obtain the JAF Reference Implementation (RI) (JAF RI) software from Java Licensee Engineering (https://javapartner.oracle.com).

### 3.2 Installing the Software

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

- Java SE 9

- JAF 1.2 RI, which is JAF RI

- JAF TCK version 1.2, which includes:

  - Apache Ant 1.9.6

- The JAF 1.2 Vendor Implementation (VI)

Follow these steps:

1. Install the Java SE 9 software, if it is not already installed.
   Download and install the Java SE 9 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 JAF TCK 1.2 software.

   1. Copy or download the JAF TCK software to your local system.
      You can obtain the JAF TCK software from the Java Licensee Engineering (https://javapartner.oracle.com) Web site. The JAF TCK software is located in the Web site’s Download Center area.

   2. Use the `unzip` command to extract the bundle in the directory of your choice:
      `unzip jaftck-1.2_dd-Mmm-YYYY.zip`
      This creates the TCK directory. The TCK is the test suite home, `<TS_HOME>`.

3. Install the JAF 1.2 Reference Implementation.
   The Reference Implementation is used to validate your initial configuration and setup of the JAF TCK 1.2 tests, which are explained further in Chapter 4, "Setup and Configuration."
   The JAF RI can be obtained from Java Licensee Engineering (https://javapartner.oracle.com).
