Prerequisites for installing UML Lab
Hello,
I have a recent Windows 8 installation with Java SE 7u9 and latest JDK installed.
I have NOT installed Eclipse (I use IntelliJ for work).
I install UML Lab, then try to load the executable, and nothing happens.
Is Eclipse a prerequisite for this product?
I keep seeing "Eclipse" mentioned everywhere. I assumed your release (download) from the website would bundle what was necessary from Eclipse to run stand alone.
Is this correct or not?
Cheers,
R

"C:\Program Files\UMLLAB\umllab.exe" starting in the containing folder.
By changing the shortcut to point to "C:\Program Files\UMLLab\UMLLab\UMLLab.exe" and the starting directory to the containing folder of the executable, the product now launches correctly.
Note, I did NOT change the default installation directory upon install.
Perhaps you should update your installer for the next release to include a valid .lnk?
Thank you for reporting this issue. I can confirm this bug and I was able to reproduce it. We'll fix it and update the installer later this day.
Regarding your question about Eclipse: Yes, the UML Lab downloads on our website (both the Windows exe and the zips for Linux and Mac) also contain a complete Eclipse. If you already had an Eclipse installation, you could also use the update-site to install UML Lab into it.
Best,
Manuel
Meanwhile we released an updated UML Lab installer. Thanks again for reporting the problem.
Have a nice weekend,
