View source for Dependencies for building GLOW

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

===Get the JDK===
Get a Java JDK for your system. For development, JDK 1.5 is recommended. To simply use GLOW, a higher version works too.

* Snow Leopard includes JDK 1.6, but it is possible to install the old JDK using this [http://chxor.chxo.com/post/183013153/installing-java-1-5-on-snow-leopard JDK 1.5 tutorial].
* Other systems: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

===Get Apache Ant===
Mac OS X includes Ant; for other platforms:

* URL: http://ant.apache.org/
* Put Ant's <tt>bin</tt> 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===
* 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 <tt>javac</tt> tags (two times): <tt>source="1.5" target="1.5"</tt>.
** 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\

===Get JOGL===
* 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

===Get a version of GLOW===
* 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
