Here, you will only find source code. If you just want to get and use the software, go to sourceforge, download it and enjoy easy diagram's drawing! https://sourceforge.net/projects/violet/files/latest/download
Violet is developped in Java and is packaged with Maven. So, prerequisites are :
- Java Development Kit 8 or greater (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html)
- Maven 3 or greater (http://maven.apache.org/)
Once you grab the source code (git pull), run 'mvn clean package' from the root directory. This command will compile and package everything.
As the Violet project is composed of several sub-projects (plugins, products, etc...), it is organized as a main maven project (parent) with modules (children). Once everything is compiled and packaged, go to [module directory]/target to get the result of this packaging. For example : violetproduct-exe/target/violetumleditor-xxx.exe
If you want to go even further and contribute (even for simple fixes), please read the developer guide from the website here : http://alexdp.free.fr/violetumleditor/page.php?id=en:developerguide
Once you think you have something great, you can create a git pull request. I will examine your request and contact you back.
