Development tools

The tools needed to implement solutions depend on the implementation language. In either case you will need an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that suits the requirements of the specific language, e.g. VS Code for TypeScript development or Eclipse for Java development.

Note: We recommend using the latest version of the tools unless specified otherwise. Additionally, we do not recommend using GitBash on Windows since it doesn't mask the password that is entered by the user.

Implementing projects with TypeScript

Node.js

Currently, only Node.js 16.13.x is supported to install Solution CLI and execute npm commands.

TypeScript

TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript.

This is used to overwrite the settings of the user workspace in VS Code (IDE).

Implementing projects with Java

Java SDK

A Java 11 SDK or higher is needed to develop Java based pro-code projects on your local machine.

Please download either the Oracle 11 JDK from https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#java11 or the Open JDK from https://openjdk.java.net, https://adoptium.net or another distributor and follow the installation instructions of the JDK.

Maven

Maven version >=3.6.1 is required to develop pro-code projects based on Java.

Please download and install maven from https://maven.apache.org.

Eclipse plug-ins (optional)
