Go to the download page and download the binary distribution. Unzip the package into a directory on your machine. You must run the /bin/update_install script in order to complete the installation. This script will download the files needed to support the various code generation options and may take a few minutes depending on your connection speed.

Your newly created muse directory should have the following structure:

Here is an explanation of the contents of each directory:

• /bin - contains scripts for executing wsdl2java and wsdlmerge. There are batch scripts (.bat extension) for Windows machines and shell scripts (.sh extension, uses standard /bin/sh). For convenience, this would be the directory that you would add to your system's executable search path.
  


• /docs - contains the documentation you are currently reading.
  


• /lib - contains libraries and template project directories for code generation. More specifically the command line tools (wsdl2java and wsdlmerge) use the jars under /common when they are invoke. The wsdl2java tool uses the files in /axis2 and /eclipse-osgi to create projects for Axis2 J2EE projects and OSGi projects respectively.
  


• /axis2 - an expanded template WAR from the Axis2 project.
  


• /common - common third-party libraries, including the Apache Xerces XML Parser, XStream and WSDL4J.
  


• /eclipse-osgi - components from the Eclipse project that provide the minimum OSGi environment needed to host a Muse-based application.
  


• /modules - contains the jars that contain the muse runtime and tooling implementation.
  


• /axis2 - contains support for Axis2 deployment.
  


• /core - contains jars that are essential to all Muse applications.
  


• /osgi - contains support for OSGi deployment.
  


• /tools - contains the code generation and resource analysis tools.
  


• /ws-fx-api - contains the Java interfaces for WS-* specifications.
  


• /ws-fx-impl - contains Muse's default implementations of the WS-* specifications.
  


• /samples - contains sample projects that exercise the various WS-* specs.
  


• license.txt - A copy of the Apache Muse licensing terms (ASF License 2.0).
