Revision as of 20:53, 17 May 2011

To build GLOW, the following software and libraries are needed.

Mac OS X includes Ant; for other platforms:

URL: http://ant.apache.org/
Put Ant's bin directory in the system's PATH, so that typing 'ant' from the command line starts Ant.

URL: http://prefuse.org/download/
Download Prefuse-beta (release 2007.10.21) source zip
Unpack it, for example: C:\Program Files\prefuse-beta
Doublecheck: sources should now be in: C:\Program Files\prefuse-beta\src\prefuse
Build it:
- Go to the prefuse-beta directory
- Patch the build.xml script in order to make it cross-compile to JDK 1.5 class files. Add the following attributes to javac tags (two times): source="1.5" target="1.5".
- Run the 'build' script, e.g. build.sh or build.bat. This script requires Ant.
Doublecheck: the follwing directory should now have been created: C:\Program Files\prefuse-beta\build\

URL: http://kenai.com/projects/jogl/pages/Home
Download URL: http://download.java.net/media/jogl/builds/archive/jsr-231-2.0-beta10/
Currently using 2.0-beta10
Unpack it, for example: C:\Program Files\JOGL
Doublecheck: lots of jar files should now be in: C:\Program Files\JOGL\lib
Put its 'lib' folder in the system PATH environment variable, e.g.: C:\Program Files\JOGL\lib

URL: http://www.glowvis.org/latest/
Save the .jar files to your Protege 'plugins' directory, e.g. C:\Program Files\Protege\plugins
Verify that Protege starts up correctly and that the GLOW visualization can be selected under Views -> Class Views
