In the beginning, just one quick paragraph of how to get access to BioJava.
BioJava is open source and you can get the code from Github, however it might be easier this way:
BioJava uses Maven as a build and distribution system. If you are new to Maven, take a look at the Getting Started with Maven guide.
Currently, we are providing a BioJava specific Maven repository at (http://biojava.org/download/maven/) .
You can add the BioJava repository by adding the following XML to your project pom.xml file:
<repositories>
...
<repository>
<id>biojava-maven-repo</id>
<name>BioJava repository</name>
<url>http://www.biojava.org/download/maven/</url>
</repository>
</repositories>We are currently in the process of changing our distribution to Maven Central, which would not even require this configuration step.
<dependencies>
...
<!-- This imports the latest version of BioJava genomics module -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.biojava</groupId>
<artifactId>biojava3-genomics</artifactId>
<version>3.0.8</version>
<!-- note: the genomics module depends on the BioJava-core module and will import it automatically -->
</dependency>
<!-- other biojava jars as needed -->
</dependencies> If you run
mvn package
on your project, the BioJava dependencies will be automatically downloaded and installed for you.
