Dependencies for building GLOW

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

Get Apache Ant

• 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.

Get Protege 4.0.x

• URL: http://protege.stanford.edu/download/download.html
• Install it, for example: C:\Program Files\Protege
• Verify that Protege starts up correctly.

Get Prefuse beta

• Download Prefuse-beta (release 2007.10.21) source zip
• Unpack it, for example: C:\Program Files\prefuse-beta
