Required Packages

In order to run or develop Tea programs you will need a Java Runtime Environment. The Tea runtime is written in 100% pure Java. A Java Virtual Machine is thus essencial to run Tea programs. You can use any Java runtime environment that conforms to Java 1.5 (for Tea 3.2.5, or Java 1.3 for Tea 3.1.0). Sun's publicly available JVMs are an obvious choice.

Some features of Tea involving regular expressions use the very fine gnu.regexp library. Starting with Tea version 3.0.0 it is no longer necessary to separately download and instal the gnu.regexp library. All the required class files are included in the main Tea JAR file. (Tea will migrate to Java 1.4 regexp API in a future release).

Optional Packages

Some non-essential Tea features require support from third party libraries.
  • SAX
    In Tea 3.1.0, if you intend to use the XML module you will need a SAX parser. The following are some public implementations we know of: Apache Xerces. (Java 1.4 built-in parser will be supported in a future release).
  • JDBC
    You will need a JDBC 2 driver to access relacional databases using the TDBC module. Check with your database vendor for a JDBC driver suitable to your database. Tea has been used in production environments with JDBC drivers for Postgresql, MySql, Oracle, Sybase, Informix, SQL Server.
