Development Tools

Note that the development of the application is restricted to the Windows platform (Windows 11) and the listed tools have been tested only on that platform.

Although technical support is not provided for any Integrated Development Environment (IDE) it should be possible to use any Java IDE for development. Support for IDEs should be sought from the relevant software vendor. The Eclipse IDE has been tested and it’s use is described in the documentation.

Reporting and Analysis

Eclipse Business Intelligent and Reporting Tools (BIRT) is an open source component that provides a development and execution environment for Cúram Business Intelligence (BI) content.

The use of a second Eclipse instance for BIRT development is recommended as standard Cúram development often requires an Eclipse version that is not compatible with the certified BIRT development environment.

For more information, see the Development Environment Installation Guide and the BIRT Developer Guide.

Supported softwareVersionDetails
Eclipse Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools4.15.0 and future fix packsCúram uses the all-in-one installation. For more information, see BIRT versions and platform support.

Word Integration

The Microsoft Word integration functionality for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge is based around the extension and native messaging features of those browsers.

Java is required to run the Word Integration Assistant client desktop Java™ application which is part of the Word Integration feature. The Java versions specified in the table below are certified for this purpose.

Supported softwareVersionDetails
Adoptium OpenJDK21 and future fix packsAdoptium OpenJDK Version 21.0 is available as a free download from the Adoptium Home Page.
Microsoft Word2021 and future fix packsRequired for creating and editing Cúram communication documents in Microsoft Word format.

Web Browsers

The minimum recommended resolution is 1366x768. The optimum DPI setting is Normal size.

Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari release new versions frequently and install updates automatically by default. Merative Cúram releases (V.R.M.F releases only) are generally tested on the latest version (for Chrome and Edge, stable releases only) of these browsers available at the start of the development cycle; if tested with no issues Merative will certify that version. The prerequisites advise the version that is certified at each new product release. If for any reason, Merative Cúram are unable to certify for that version, it may be necessary to revert back to a version that is previously fully certified. While Merative will support customers on newer versions of these browsers than the last certified version, they should understand that they have not been fully tested.

Standard desktop browser support

While every effort is made to ensure that internal case worker application pages use standard web technologies and formats that are compatible with all browsers, only the listed browsers are officially supported.

Universal Access desktop browser support

Universal Access has been specifically developed for public facing applications so browser support has been extended in this area.

  • For information about browser support for the Universal Access Responsive Web Application, see the prerequisites and supported software in the Universal Access Responsive Web Application documentation.
  • While every effort is made to ensure that the classic Universal Access application uses standard web technologies and formats that are compatible with all browsers, only the listed browsers are officially supported.
