Working with the Protege source code
Compiling and Running the Protege-OWL editor
Right now we only have documents for how to work with eclipse. But I believe that developers using other IDE's will be able to follow these instructions (making the necessary changes as they go). Please feel free to add links describing how to get Protege 4 to compile and run in other IDE's.
The following two links cover much the same ground. They describe how to download, compile and run the protege 4 sources in a development environment.
- Compile and run the Protege 4 OWL Editor in Eclipse (External link) - this page gives directions for compiling Protege 4.0 sources in Eclipse where all bundles are encapsulated in one Eclipse project
- Compile and run the Protege-OWL editor in Eclipse In Progress - this page gives directions for compiling Protege 4.0 sources in Eclipse where all bundles are encapsulated in one Eclipse project.
The next link covers the problem of compiling and running a plugin in a development environment.
- Setting up the IDE environment for a plugin in Eclipse (In Progress) -this page gives directions for setting up eclipse to do development work on a plugin.
Eclipse Only Instructions
Unlike the approaches for plugin development described above, the following instructions are only relevant to eclipse developers. The eclipse environment has special support for OSGi and is - as far as I know - the best IDE environment for developing OSGI applications. Unfortunately there are some issues with taking advantage of this support that have not yet been worked out (involving Swing vs. SWT) so this documentation is still not complete.
- Compile and run the Protege 4 OWL editor in Eclipse (In Progress)- this page gives directions for compiling Protege 4.0 sources in Eclipse where each bundle is created as a separate Eclipse project.
Writing a simple view plugin (with example code)
A short guide to writing a plug-in to show the class hierarchy. This doesn't delve deeply into setting up your build environment, but concentrates on a simple code example and making sure you understand the components and the structure of a plug-in.
