Working with the Protege source code
Compiling and Running the Protege-OWL editor
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.
The following link is not complete yet and will be updated later when we have better details on how to run Protege 4 using the eclipse OSGi debugging capabilities. Hopefully we will complete this page because this method of loading Protege 4 plugins into eclipse will have some major advantages.
- 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.
