# Chapter 1. Getting Started

This chapter will get you started with developing java treeview.

Tools required for developing Java TreeView

- Java SDK

- JEdit or other code editor

- ant, a Java-based replacement for make

- DocBook environment, only for documentation authoring

## Required Tools

In this section, I will describe the tools required to build java treeview.

### TreeView Source Code

You must, of course, download the source distribution of Java Treeview from http://jtreeview.sourceforge.net

### Java SDK

The java sdk can be downloaded from the sun website at http://java.sun.com/j2se/.

### ant

Apache Ant, the build tool, is available from http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi

### Code Editor

The crossplatform editor jedit is recommended, available from http://www.jedit.org/index.php?page=download

### DocBook

Docbook is more of a file format (an XML dialect to be precise) than a tool.
