JDime uses gradle as a build system. To avoid version mismatches with already installed instances of gradle, you can use the supplied gradle wrapper gradlew that bootstraps the right version of gradle automatically.

After running ./gradlew installDist, the directory build/install/JDime/bin will contain Unix and Windows scripts that you can use to start the application.

The input versions are passed to JDime as command line arguments. To perform a three-way merge, JDime is invoked as follows:

JDime --mode [unstructured|structured|autotuning] --output [file/directory] <leftVersion> <baseVersion> <rightVersion>

Run JDime --help to show more extensive usage information.
