The Essential JViews Framework > Framework JavaBeans > Installing ILOG JViews Beans into an IDE

To be able to use the ILOG JViews Framework Beans, you must first install the Beans into your IDE. The Beans are located in:

<installdir>/jviews-framework81/lib/jviews-framework-all.jar

To install JViews Framework JavaBeans refer to your IDE documentation. In most cases, the IDE simply allows you to import a .jar file and finds the JavaBeans located in this .jar file automatically.

Other Beans are available for the JViews Diagrammer, JViews Maps, JViews Gantt and JViews Charts products. These Beans are not covered in this document (To learn more about them, read the section about JavaBeans in the documentation of your product).

In most IDEs, when importing JAR files, you must make sure that all classes referred by those beans are also imported. For example, this may mean referring to JViews Framework JARs when importing JViews Maps Beans.

Note
Some IDEs may refuse to import ILOG JViews Beans because they are running earlier JDK versions than the one JViews requires. In this case, you may need a newer version of your IDE.
