These instructions should guide you if you'd like to try out using KLighD for visualizing your own models or data structures.

We provide two minimal examples:

1. Minimal Example (Java Model) demonstrates a KLighD visualization of a trivial Java data structure 
2. Minimal Example (Xtext Model) demonstrates a KLighD visualization of a trivial Xtext model

Both examples require an Eclipse Kepler Modeling setup with the KLighD framework installed. Please follow the instruction below in order to setup an Eclipse suitable to run the examples. It is suggested to start with a fresh copy of Eclipse.

Pre-requirement: Eclipse Step-By-Step Installation Guide

In order to get this example working, you need an Eclipse installation according to the following instructions:

1. Download Eclipse Kepler (Modeling Edition):
   Windows x64: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/kepler/SR1/eclipse-modeling-kepler-SR1-win32-x86_64.zip&mirror_id=546
   Mac x64: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/kepler/SR1/eclipse-modeling-kepler-SR1-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz
   Other: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-modeling-tools/keplersr1
2. Add the KIELER update site to your Eclipse (Help -> Install New Software ... -> Add):http://rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/~kieler/updatesite/
3. Select
   [x] Layout,
   [x] Lightweight Diagrams, and
   [x] Sources
   to be installed into your Eclipse. You may need to re-start Eclipse after finishing the installation process.
