+<title>The JABAWS system</title>
+</head>
+<body>
+ <p>
+ <strong>The</strong> <strong><em>JA</em></strong>va <strong><em>B</em></strong>ioinformatics
+ <strong><em>A</em></strong>nalysis <strong><em>W</em></strong>eb <strong><em>S</em></strong>ervices
+ <strong>system</strong> (<strong>JABAWS</strong>)<br> Jalview
+ includes a client for interacting with programmatic (SOAP) web
+ services provided by the <a href="http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/jabaws">JABAWS</a>
+ system, developed at the University of Dundee by Peter
+ Troshin, Sasha Sherstnev, Dan Barton, Fabio Madeira-Marquez, Jim Procter and Geoff Barton.
+ This is an open source system that provides a framework for wrapping command line bioinformatics
+ analysis programs that enables them to be executed locally or on a
+ cluster using data and analysis parameters provided by a program
+ linked with the JABA engine directly or accessing it remotely <em>via</em>
+ its web services interface.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The list of JABAWS servers known to the Jalview desktop is shown in
+ the <a href="webServicesPrefs.html">Web Services Preferences
+ Panel</a>, and detailed information about a particular service is
+ available from the help text and web pages accessible from its <a
+ href="webServicesParams.html">job parameters dialog box</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Obtaining JABAWS</strong><br> One of the aims of JABAWS
+ is to enable you to easily perform computationally intensive
+ bioinformatics analysis tasks using your own computational
+ facilities. It can be installed on a workstation to provide
+ stand-alone execution of analysis programs, or as a job submission
+ engine - enabling larger numbers of jobs to be handled. If you would
+ like to download and install JABAWS for your own use, please go to <a
+ href="http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/jabaws">http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/jabaws</a>
+ for more information.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Configuring your own JABAWS services for use by
+ Jalview</strong><br> Once you have downloaded and installed JABAWS,
+ and verified it is working, all that is needed is to add the URL for
+ your JABAWS server(s) to the list in the <a
+ href="webServicesPrefs.html">Web Services Preferences
+ Panel</a>. After adding your service and saving your preferences or
+ hitting the 'refresh web services' button, you should be able to
+ submit jobs to the server via the alignment window's web services
+ menu. Your JABAWS servers list is stored in your Jalview
+ preferences, so you will only have to configure Jalview once for
+ each new server.
+ </p>

+ <em>JABAWS Client updated to version 2.2 in Jalview 2.10.2</em>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <em>Option for adding JABAWS servers which fails validation was
+ introduced from version 2.8.2 </em>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <em>Support for accessing JABAWS servers was introduced in
+ Jalview 2.6.</em>
