+ Building the JalviewLite applet
+ The JalviewLite applet is compiled using a subset of the packages in + the src directory (specifically: MCView, and jalview.{datamodel, + analysis, appletgui, utils, schemes, api, structure}, and + com.stevesoft.*). Once compiled, these class files are obfuscated to + make the code run efficiently. To compile the applet Jar, use the + makeApplet task - optionally passing in a 'donotobfuscate' property to + the ant build (e.g. -Ddonotobfuscate=true) to disable obfuscation.

+ The ant target 'pubapplet' can be used to compile install the + jalviewApplet.jar and any dependent jars (under appletlib) into a copy + of the examples directory created under the outputDir build + property (which defaults to the 'dist' directory). +

+

+

using IDEs to build Jalview

+

The Jalview source distribution includes project definitions for + Eclipse, Netbeans and some rather ancient Borland JBuilder .jpx + project files. These files should be sufficient to set up basic source + folders and build paths, but you will need to ensure that all .jar + files in the lib and appletlib directories are added to the build path + for your IDE project, and that the 'buildindices' target in Jalview's + build.xml is executed with the 'outputDir' ant property set to the + directory where the IDE expects to place compiled classes ('classes' + directory for eclipse, 'build/classes' for netbeans).

+

Note: It is generally not recommended that you distribute build + artefacts that were generated automatically via an IDE's own packaging + mechanism (e.g. Netbeans' executable Jar and dependent lib directory). + The hand-crafted ant build.xml is (currently) the only officially + supported method of building distributable versions of Jalview.
