Jalview README

==

Welcome !

Jalview is free (GPLv3 licensed) software for creation, interactive visualisation and analysis of alignments of biological sequences. It was developed by Michele Clamp in 1996, and now maintained by the Jalview Development team in the Barton group at the University of Dundee.

If you'd like to help out please check out the website (www.jalview.org) and get in touch. See CITATION for the canonical reference if you need to cite Jalview.

To build the Jalview Desktop application and JalviewJS, the JavaScript transpiled version (with the help of java2script, courtesy of Bob Hanson), you will need a Java 11 JDK and a recent version of Gradle. For development we recommend Eclipse - you should be able to import Jalview as a Gradle project with the Buildship plugin.

Most likely you'll want to take a look at doc/building.md to find out exactly what is needed. If you already have Java 11 and Gradle, then the tldr:

gradle test # run functional test suite

gradle shadowJar # build a single executable Jar under build/libs/

gradle jalviewjs # builds JalviewJS under build/jalviewjs

If you want to build JalviewJS then you will also need to download Eclipse for your platform, since transpilation requires an Eclipse plugin.
