applying CTL/LTL model-checking on some system

Question

I apologies if my title is vague, I'm trying to apply CTL/LTL model-checking on some system written in java, however, I still don't understand how to reach a result using either of the approaches mentioned. Do I model my LTS/write specification and use a tool like SPIN to validate that or? I'm mainly looking for a point at a direction that will help me in making a start.

Again sorry but I made this thread after so much frustration searching for an explanation to my problem.

Thank you

I'm pretty sure that you need your system to be designed in Promela, rather than Java. You then input the system in Promela, and the specification in LTL (or CTL) to SPIN, which outputs a C code for a model checker for the specific instance.
