Software Dependencies¶
This chapter documents the exact list of third party software upon which FWD depends, for FWD v4.0.0. These dependencies include subsystems (e.g. the Java Development Kit), compilers (e.g. gcc), middleware (e.g. RDBMS), utilities, jar files and shared libraries (e.g. .so files on UNIX/Linux, DLL files on Windows). All of these are required for FWD to operate in one way or another, but the full list is not required for all use cases.
- the v3.1.0 version of FWD, see Software Dependencies for FWD v3.1.0.
- the v3.0.0 version of FWD, see Software Dependencies for FWD v3.0.0.
Java Versions¶
FWD v4 works with either Java 8 or Java 11. Generally, one may use the OpenJDK releases, Oracle releases or other compatible JDKs such as GraalVM. At least for the OpenJDK cases, it has been found that Java 11 is consistently slower by a significant percentage (10% to 30% slower!). For this reason, it is expected that few production users will use Java 11. Work is ongoing to move to Java 17 (see #6692).
Switching Between Java 8 and Java 11
Operating System¶
Java processes are normally platform neutral. Most of the FWD Java code is written in pure Java, it is possible for such processing to be run on any operating system or hardware platform that supports the a compatible Java environment for all system components. Some of the system components of FWD do rely upon native code:
| Component | Native Code Dependency |
|---|---|
| FWD Build Environment | Yes |
| FWD Code Analytics | No |
| FWD Conversion | No |
| FWD Application Server | Yes (only if "server-side resources" are used) |
| H2 Database | No |
| PostgreSQL Database | Yes* |
| SQLServer Database | Yes |
| FWD Client (and FWD Spawner) | Yes |
| FWD Web Client | No |
If the specified component does not have any native code dependency, then it can be run on any operating system with the right level of compatible Java (JDK 8).
For the components that have native code dependencies, it is important that those dependencies are satisfied. Please see System Requirements for details on the operating systems that are already supported.
The sections below will provide details of the native dependencies for those components which have them.
To be more specific, FWD has been successfully run on a variety of recent Linux distributions from Ubuntu, SuSE, Red Hat and CentOS. There are no specific dependencies on any particular distribution. It is expected that any UNIX-compatible system would work properly.
FWD is also fully supported on Windows, having been successfully run on a range of versions from Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 and later versions.
A specific list of supported operating systems and hardware platforms can be seen in Supported Platforms.
List of Dependencies¶
The following tables list all the dependencies used by FWD during the conversion process and during runtime. Please note that all the listed jar files are automatically fetched during build.
If for whatever reason you cannot fetch the dependencies folowing the standard build process you can download them individually (see Obtaining the 3rd Party Code). The dependency files must be then placed in <fwd_home>/local-repo/ directory following the Maven repository file layout.
Build Environment¶
Majority of FWD is built using the Java technology, while smaller portions of FWD is running native code targeting either Linux operating systems or Windows. The following list of software dependencies is required to build FWD.
The build process is automated using the open source Gradle 3.x and Apache Ant projects. Gradle is written to dynamically download the jars upon which the FWD build process depends. The following is the list of minimum dependencies needed to build:
| Name | Minimum Version | Target | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Java Development Kit | 8 or 11 | Java | A development environment for building applications and components using the Java programming language. |
| Ant | 1.9 | Java | Apache Ant is a Java library and command-line tool whose mission is to drive processes described in build files as targets and extension points dependent upon each other.* |
| Gradle | 3.0 | Java | Gradle is an open source build automation system. Note that the required version of Gradle is already provided in the FWD code repository in the form of Gradle Wrapper. See https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html for more information about Gradle Wrapper. |
| gcc | 5.4 | Linux | GNU C Compiler. |
| binutils | 2.26 | Linux | GNU assembler, linker and binary utilities. |
| mingw | 3.x | Windows | MinGW provides a complete Open Source programming tool set which is suitable for the development of native MS-Windows applications.* |
| libffi-dev | 3.2.1 | Linux | The libffi library provides a portable, high level programming interface to various calling conventions.* This dependency is needed only on Linux. In the official Ubuntu repositories can be found as libffi-dev. |
| libjvm | JDK 8 or 11 | Linux, Windows | Java Native Interface (JNI) is a programming framework that enables Java code running in a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to call and be called by native applications (programs specific to a hardware and operating system platform) and libraries written in other languages such as C, C++ and assembly.* |
| libncurses-dev | ncurses library 5.7 (last available 6.2) | Linux | A terminal-independent method for providing a character user interface. This dependency is required only on Linux/UNIX. In the official Ubuntu repositories can be found as libncurses-dev. |
Due to the ANTLR dependencies, version 1.5.3 does not work. Please ensure that Ant 1.9 or higher can be found via the user's PATH.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Java Development Kit | No | Java 8 or 11 or the equivalent | Java Runtime | A development environment for building and executing applications and components using the Java programming language.
The core requirement for the JVM is that it must be compatible with Java 8.
The specific versions of Oracle JDK 1.8.0_101 and OpenJDK 1.8.0_111 have both been tested and have been found to work well. Generally, it is safe to use any later version of the Java 1.8 platform. The application server dynamically generates some converted ABL code (at runtime), which means that there are parts of the runtime system that may depend upon tools in the JDK. For this reason, the JDK is required and a JRE (runtime only, no development kit) cannot be used. |

Database Server¶
| Project and Version | Modified | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OpenJDK 1.8 or the equivalent | No | This is only needed if PL/Java is in use. A development environment for building applications and components using the Java programming language. The Oracle JDK 1.8 and OpenJDK 1.8 are well tested options. Versions of Oracle JDK 1.8.0_101 and OpenJDK 1.8.0_111 have been tested and have been found to work well. Either the 32-bit or 64-bit version may be used. However, this is needed only for executing very small sub-expression fragments (calls to a single built-in function) which has very minimal memory requirements. For this reason, there is no strong requirement for the 64-bit JVM. Using a 32-bit JVM for this purpose will be faster and will use less memory. Use a 32-bit JVM if possible. It is also highly recommended to limit the maximum heap size to 8MB. There is no reason to make it larger. |
| Java Native Interface (JNI) 1.8 | No | This is only needed if PL/Java is in use. Java Native Interface (JNI) is a programming framework that enables Java code running in a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to call and be called by native applications (programs specific to a hardware and operating system platform) and libraries written in other languages such as C, C++ and assembly.* Used by PL/Java to launch JVMs. |
| PL/Java 1.5 | No | PL/Java is an add on module to the PostgreSQL backend. PL/Java is used to provide user defined functions written in Java for use with the PostgreSQL database. It falls into the same category as PL/SQL, PL/TCL, PL/Perl, and PL/Python. When installed, functions and triggers can be written in Java using your favorite Java IDE and installed into the database. For information on building PL/Java library read Patching and Building Customized 3rd Party Libraries. |
| FWD Collation Services | Yes | FWD uses a custom implementation of java.text.spi.CollatorProvider to enable H2 to sort text data the same way Progress would. |
Client¶
The FWD Client provides support for all of the interactive user-interface scenarios (ChUI and GUI) which might be expected. Due to the inherently fat-client design of the ABL, the FWD Client is also needed for a variety of use cases that might otherwise be surprising. This includes Appserver agents, batch mode clients and WebSpeed (when it is supported).
Some of these client configurations are started automatically by the FWD Application Server, using a native executable called the FWD Spawner or usually just referred to as the "spawner". The spawner always runs on the same system as the FWD Client, which may or may not be the same system as the FWD Application Server. The requirements below include those needed for a client system that includes the spawner.
When running the FWD Web Client there is the FWD Client which is executed and then all of the user interaction is actually handled by the browser, which can be on a separate physical system. See Browser Support for details.
| File | Modified | Project and Version | Purpose | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Java Runtime Environment | No | Java 8 or 11 or the equivalent | Java Runtime | A runtime environment for executing applications and components using the Java programming language.
The core requirement for the JVM is that it must be compatible with Java 8.
The specific versions of Oracle JDK 1.8.0_101 and OpenJDK 1.8.0_111 have both been tested and have been found to work well. Generally, it is safe to use any later version of the Java 1.8 platform. The client does not generate Java code at runtime, which means that it is possible to use a JRE (runtime only, no development kit) instead of a JDK.If your ABL application is using calls to native libraries, then the bitness of the installed JVM must match the bitness of these native libraries. You will not be able to execute calls into a 32-bit compiled native library from a 64-bit JVM or 64-bit native code from a 32-bit JVM. If the legacy application is not dependent on native library calls, and if your operating system is 64-bit architecture, you may use either the 32-bit or the 64-bit JVM. On a 32-bit platform, only a 32-bit JVM is possible. The application server process (JVM) is where the majority of working memory exists for each client (accessing the system). The actual memory used will depend on the queries, the block flow, recursion and other features of the original ABL. The converted application code is actually running in the common server process, which is different from how Progress ABL works. By default, we recommend using the 32-bit JVM on the client for the following reasons:
Using the 32-bit version will greatly reduce the memory footprint and overhead of each JVM instance. On client systems where there will be large numbers of JVM instances (often at least one per user), this can accumulate into a significant savings. |

Obtaining the 3rd Party Code¶
All of the projects upon which FWD is dependent are licensed under permissive open source licenses.
Some of the projects are redistributed having as a bundle some other libraries. It is the case of license used for distribution of Java EE (Oracle Binary Code License Agreement for Java EE Technologies) that covers both JTA and the Servlet API. This license allows for redistribution under other licenses (see Supplemental License Term B), so long as (among other conditions), Oracle's rights under its Binary Code License are adequately protected under the license used for redistribution. Also it is the case of Apache license for Jetty distribution that covers JTA and Servlets API. Similarly, LGPL of Hibernate that covers C3p0, ANTLR, dom4j and ehcache. Therefore, these licenses (i.e., LGPL and Apache, respectively) are what we rely upon for these libraries. They allow our customers to redistribute these libraries for commercial purposes.
The following tables lists each project referenced above and summarizes how it is licensed and how to obtain the code. It is maintained via FWD_license_tables.ods from the licenses project.
