-Projects:+To instrument Java programs, extract their execution traces, model these traces as sequence diagrams, and identify occurrences of behavioural and creational design motifs in these traces, you must download and install the following projects:
  
 +- ''​MoDeC Bytecode Instrumentation''​ (and ''​MoDeC Bytecode Instrumentation Tests''​) deals with the instrumentation of the bytecodes of the Java programs for which to collect execution traces (called target Java program).

-problems to identify occurrences of behavioural and creational +
-design motifs in models of execution traces.+
  
 +Here are the three main steps to gather execution traces of some target Java program and identify occurrences of behavioural and creational design motifs in their MoDeC models.
  
 +  * Instrument the bytecode of the target Java program, using ''​modec.util.Instrumentor.instrumentClasses(String)'',​ see examples in ''​modec.util.Instrumentor.main(String[])''​. The input of the ''​instrumentClasses(String)''​ method is a file describing:
 +    * The path to the bytecodes of the classes of the target Java program;
 +    * The path to the folder where to store the instrumented bytecodes;
 +    * The path to the libraries required by the target program (if any);
 +    * The name of the file of the execution traces;
 +    * The fully qualified name of the "​main"​ class of the target program;
 +    * A list of paths to the Java class files to instrument, relative to the first path above.
  
-===== MoDeC Basic Uses =====+  * See for a complete example the file ''​MoDeC Bytecode Instrumentation Tests/Input Files/​Evaluation of ArgoUML v0.19.8.txt''​. The list of paths to the Java class files to instrument can be generated using ''​modec.tool.helper.ClassFileListGenerator.main(String[])''​.
  
-Steps to gather execution traces of some target program. +  * Execute the instrumented target program, using ''​modec.tool.Invoker.invokeMainClass(String)''​, see examples in ''​modec.tool.Invoker.main(String[])''​. Running the invoker ​will launch the instrumented target program and open a new window. The new window shows only one button and a text field, used to insert marks (also called tags) at any user-chosen appropriate moment in the collected execution traces, for example before and after executing some particular feature.
