<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>Java development kit (JDK1.6 is the recommended platform for developing with Jalview, although JDK1.7 seems to work too!).</li>
<li>Ant (we think 1.5.4 is quite sufficient to use the simple build
-file supplied).</li>
+file supplied, and it seems to work with later versions e.g. 1.7).</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
key)

+ <strong>Building the JalviewLite applet<br>
+ </strong> 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. </p><p>
+ 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 <em>outputDir</em> build
+ property (which defaults to the 'dist' directory).

Eclipse, Netbeans and some rather ancient Borland JBuilder .jpx
