<title>Building Jalview from Source</title>
<p>
You will need the following (hopefully):<br>
<ul>
-<li>Java development kit (we used JDK1.5SE but JDK1.6 will work too,
-and maybe even jikes).</li>
-<li>Ant (we think 1.5.4 is quite sufficient to use the simple build
-file supplied).</li>
+<li>Java development kit (JDK1.8 is now the recommended platform for developing with Jalview.</li>
+<li>Ant (1.7 or later will be needed for some of the jarsigning tools).</li>
</ul>
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, but NetBeans is a bit trickier).

dist. But first you need to make your own key:
<p><strong>Making your own key</strong></p>
-<p>The ant 'makefulldist' 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 :
-</p>
-<pre>
-mkdir keys
-keytool -genkey -keystore keys/.keystore -keypass alignmentisfun
--storepass alignmentisfun -alias jalview
- (you will have to answer some personal questions here)
-ant makedist
- (should eventually generate a Jalview.jnlp file
- in ./dist along with a set of signed jars using the jalview
- key)
