Building Jalview from Source

+You will need the following:
+

Java development kit (we used JDK1.4SE but JDK1.5 will work too, +and maybe even jikes). +
Ant (we think 1.5.4 is quite sufficient to use the simple build +file supplied). +

+With any luck, after setting your paths and JAVA_HOME correctly, you +just need to change to the Jalview directory and run ant (this works +from JBuilder and eclipse too). +

+   ant
+

+ +

Building a webstart version of jalview

+Jalview depends on several libraries contained in the libs directory +of the distribution. In order to access them, they must all be signed +jars - using the same jarsigner key as jalview itself. There is a +build target in ant to make the signed jar files in a directory called +dist. But first you need to make your own key: +

Making your own key

+ +

The ant 'makejars' target assumes that a keystore exists in a +directory 'keys'. To make a key accessible using the default settings +in the build.xml file then make the keys directory and add the +jarsigner key with the following : +

+mkdir keys
+keytool -genkey -keystore keys/.keystore -keypass alignmentisfun
+-storepass alignmentisfun -alias jalview
+ (you will have to answer some personal questions here)
+ant makejars
+ (should eventually generate a Jalview.jnlp file 
+  in ./dist along with a set of signed jars using the jalview
+  key)
