How to get help

If you have problems installing or running Protege Desktop, please refer to the troubleshooting section first. We also recommend searching the mailing list archives, as the problem and a solution might have already been posted.

If you can't find the answers from these resources, send an email to the Protege User Support mailing list (you need to be subscribed to post). Please be as specific as possible and try to include the following items:


  • What is your operating system (e.g., OS X 10.9, Windows 7, etc.)?
  • What is your Java version?
  • What are the specific steps to reproduce the problem?
  • Are there any error messages in the console window or the log file?
  • What is the observed behavior?


The more detail you provide up front, the more helpful we can be in terms of a prompt response.
