API Development Changes

Import API Specs

As with earlier versions of Studio, you can still import RAML specifications files from your local filesystem or Design Center to your projects.

You can also import RAML or OAS specifications from Exchange or a Maven repository to your projects as a dependency, and keep a pointer to that dependency to keep up to date with newer versions available. See Import an API Specification from Exchange or Maven for more information.

Edit API Specs

  • You can import a RAML or OAS API specification from Design Center as an editable asset in Studio and keep those changes synchronized with Design Center.
    See Synchronize API Specifications with Design Center.

  • You can also edit RAML or OAS specifications that you imported from Exchange or Maven as your project dependencies.
    See Edit Imported API Specifications in Your Projects in Studio.

  • You can edit RAML specifications that you imported from Design Center or your local files into a Mule project however, these modifications cannot be kept in sync with your Design Center API specs.

Publish API Specs

You can publish edits you made to a RAML or OAS API specification that you imported from Exchange or Maven into a Mule project.
See Edit Imported API Specifications in Your Projects in Studio.

Workspace Upgrade Requirements

Anypoint Studio creates workspaces in which you can create and group your projects. By default, the first time you open Studio, it creates a default workspace and holds all your projects in it. Your Mule application projects can not be fully compatible with workspaces created by a different version of Studio:

Projects created in a Studio 6.x.x or earlier workspace

These projects are not compatible with Studio 7 because they are Mule 3 projects.

Projects created in a 7.1.x workspace

Because Studio 7.2.0 simplified the configuration of the mule-artifact.json file, if you are importing a project created in a Studio 7.1.x workspace, see Updating Workspaces for instructions to update your project structure to a compatible format.

Projects created in a Studio 7.2.x or later workspace

Projects created in this workspace are fully compatible. You can use a project created in a Studio 7.2.x workspace without performing any extra task.

Hardware Requirements

  • MuleSoft recommends a minimum of 4GB of free RAM available on a developer workstation. As applications become complex, consider adding more RAM.

  • 8GB of memory.

  • 2GHz CPU.

  • 10GB free hard drive space.

Software Requirements

Software

Version

Java Environments

  • AdoptOpenJDK 8

This version of Studio is not compatible with Java 9 or Java 10.

Studio no longer requires Java 8 to launch and run properly. Studio comes bundled with AdoptOpenJDK 8.
You can configure Studio to use your preferred JDK version by following the instruction here.

The only compatibility introduced for Java 11 is when using Mule runtime engine 4.2.0 or later.
If you have projects running on Mule runtime engine 4.2.0 or later, and you want to run them using Java 11, see Change the JDK from Studio to learn how to change the JDK used by Studio to run your projects.

Operating Systems

  • macOS 10.12.0 through 10.15

  • Windows 10 (64-bit)

  • RHEL 7.0

  • Ubuntu 15.04 or later

Running real-time antivirus protection software on your operating system might have a negative impact on Anypoint Studio performance. Although this issue is prominent on Windows, it also occurs on Linux and macOS.

Although the steps to solve these performance issues vary depending on your antivirus software, a typical solution is to either allow or exclude the Anypoint Studio and java executables, the Studio install and workspace filesystem locations, or some combination of both. See examples of solutions for McAfee Viruscan, Windows Defender, and Symantec Endpoint Protection.

Known Issues

  • Users must do a fresh install to upgrade from Studio 7.4.x to Studio 7.5.x.

  • As of November 2019, Studio no longer provides binaries.

  • MUnit Studio plugin 2.1.5 does not work with this version of Studio.

  • Because the metadata propagation works differently in Studio 7, Datasense might display errors if your DataWeave code has references to unknown metadata either because you didn’t define the metadata before writing your code, or because your flow is still incomplete.
    See Understanding How DataSense Uses Mule Event Metadata and Transform Message Component for more information.

  • Custom Policies Editor is not supported in Studio 7.x.

  • Copybook import fails with no message.

  • Copybook import file not copied to the project.
