JavaTrace has been developed and tested on JDK 1.5.0 . JDK 1.5.0 is required to use JavaTrace.

The installation of JavaTrace involves the following two facets:

• The javatrace.jar file
• The javatrace.properties file

In order to compile code that uses JavaTrace API calls, the javatrace.jar file has to be in the CLASSPATH.
