Installation

• Install Java 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition 1.5.0
  You can download it from http://java.com/en/index.jsp
• Download the Probabilistic Evaluation Tool (source included)
  Execute with double click or in console java -jar probability.jar

Usage

• You must first select the root of the project package. Only class files (bytecode files) are necessary for the project analysis.
• You can also give as input the XML file containing the description of the static structure of the project.
