H-UPPAAL

A new integrated development environment for Hierarchical Timed Automata

---

Installation

Before installing H-UPPAAL, make sure that you have Java 8 and JavaFX installed. We recommend using https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu-community/?version=java-11-lts&package=jre-fx

1. Download and extract huppaal.zip from one of the releases.
2. Optional: Copy server binaries to the /server/ folder (see Using the UPPAAL backend).
3. Run huppaal.jar by either double-clicking the file or running java -jar huppaal.jar.

If you experience a blank white screen in H-UPPAAL, disable hardware acceleration in the VM-options (source)

-Dprism.order=sw

Linux

If you are using Linux, you may have to install JavaFX with the following command:

$ sudo apt install openjfx

Windows/OSX

If the app fails to load javafx, you can download the runtime libraries of openjfx from the gluonhq site

On OSX, you might have to add an exception in the security settings panel in order to launch H-Uppaal.

Using the UPPAAL backend

When running the program, please make sure that you have the following folder structure (relative to the huppaal.jar-file). Feel free to only include binary-files for you operating system that you are using, e.g. bin-Win32. These binaries are found in the UPPAAL distibution and can simply be copied over to the huppaal.jar location.

Saving H-UPPAAL models

When saving a HUPPAAL model, it will be saved in the project/ folder located in the same directory as the .jar file. A Queries.json file can also be found here. This file contains all queries specified in the model.
