Getting the Source Code with Eclipse

  1. Choose File -> New -> Project
  2. Select "Project from CVS" in the New Project Wizard, and click "Next"
  3. Choose "Create a New Repository Location" and click "Next"
  4. Enter the information below into the form, and press "Next"
    • Host: geneontology.cvs.sourceforge.net
    • Repository Path: /cvsroot/geneontology
    • User: anonymous (if you have developer access, enter your username)
    • Password: blank (if you have developer access, enter your password)
    • Connection type pserver (if you have developer access, use extssh)
    • Use default port
  5. Select Use specified module name, enter go-dev/java/oboedit in the text field, and click "Next"
  6. Select Check out as a project in the workspace and enter a name for the project (I suggest OBO-Edit)
  7. Make sure Checkout subfolders is selected and press "Next"
  8. Leave Use default workspace location selected and press "Next"
  9. If you want the latest version of OBO-Edit, select HEAD and click "Finish"
  10. If you want the code from an earlier version of OBO-Edit, select Branches and click "Refresh Tags". Expand the "Branches" node and select the desired tag from the list.

Congratulations! You're done!

Note: OBO-Edit makes extensive use of the org.geneontology library. You may want to check out the org.geneontology library sourcecode as well. To do it, follow all the steps above, but enter go-dev/java/org.geneontology in the Use specified module name box. Make sure to create a new project for org.geneontology WITH A DIFFERENT NAME! If you plan to recompile org.geneontology and use the changes in OBO-Edit, you will need to set the "oboedit_library_path" ANT property for your project.

Getting the Source Code with Command-Line SVN

Make sure that you have correctly installed Subversion on your computer, change to the desired parent directory and run the following commands:

svn co https://geneontology.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/geneontology/java/oboedit/trunk OBO-Edit

To check out the supporting projects, run these additional commands:

svn co https://geneontology.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/geneontology/java/bbop/trunk BBOP
svn co https://geneontology.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/geneontology/java/obo/trunk OBO

Running OBO-Edit From Eclipse

In order to run the application you need to link the oboedit and org.geneontology sections. To do this right-click the oboedit package. Choose properties, then build path and then the package tab. You can then browse to your workspace and choose the org.geneontology folder. Click ok.


When you run OBO-Edit you need to assign the amount of memory it will use. To do so choose menu item 'run' and then 'run' from the menu. Then fill in the following parameter in the VM arguments box according to the amount of memory in your computer:
