Prerequisites
Operating System:
o Windows 10, or
o Apple Mac OS X 10.14 or higher
Microsoft VC Runtime:
o For Windows OS: Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 (x64) for communication with the
back-end system is required.
Hint: Precisely version Visual Studio 2013 (VC++ 12.0) x64 for
communication with the back-end system is required.
Java Runtime:
o ADT is validated and tested against Java versions 11 and 17 (Oracle Java and
OpenJDK).
o The latest Eclipse packages are bundled with Eclipse Temurin, an OpenJDK
binary distribution provided by the Eclipse Adoptium project. Any other JRE
found on the system is not used. If you want to remove the bundled JRE and use a
custom one, see SAP note 3035242.
Hint: No manual installation of an JRE / JDK is required, since it’s
already bundled with the latest Eclipse packages which are downloadable
as a ready-to-run zip-file.
