Note: This documentation assumes you have already installed the UIEvolution Software Development Kit (UIE SDK) using the installation program. If you need help installing the UIE SDK, please read the SDK Quickstart (Not ready for this release).

This documentation is a snapshot of something currently in development: it may contain information related to previous versions of the UIE SDK, it may have mission topics, and it may have topics which are empty or in the process of being written. The most current documentation is located here.

The UIE SDK IDE is a completely new environment for creating, debugging, and publishing your UJML applications. It provides all the tools needed for UJML development in one place. The UIE SDK IDE is based on the Eclipse Java IDE platform and a good understanding of Eclipse is necessary in order to make full use of all its features.

To start the UIE SDK IDE, simply select UIE Developer from your Start menu. It will ask you what workspace you want to use. In most cases you will want to use a workspace somewhere other than the default, so choose an appropriate directory for your system and working style. You can easily change your workspace and have multiple workspaces, so there is room for experimentation.
