[Biojava-dev] biojava3-core release candidate

[Andreas Prlic]

Hi  Trevor,

> We can pull the artifact down down and use it fine - the only snafoo was that the parent pom is a SNAPSHOT and our local mirror archive is configured to ignore snapshots - so I had to pull it down directly.

anything we can change on our side? I believe the biojava.pom should
have the correct version.

> Do you plan on deploying source jars alongside the release artifacts, and perhaps javadoc jars? Source jars matching the release artifact would be extremely useful...

I believe they should already be available.


> There is still something (?missing?) in the biojava and github subversion trees that breaks subversion checkouts for us - so I use the github zip download for source code - and obviously that may not match the artifact release version.

hm. github is using a developer SVN connection, so it should not
suffer from the same issues as the anonymous SVN server. What was the
problem with it?


> The BioJava DNAsequence functionality that we rely on in our Ensembl Java API (jensembl) demo code works fine - now that access to the ProxySequenceReader is allowed. So I will update our sourceforge project to use the biojava3-core-3.0-alpha1 dependency.

great, glad to hear it works for you,

Andreas



> We have used our jensembl demo to write a Java plug-in for the Savant genome browser - which allows it to pull in chromosomes and annotations from recent releases of ensembl and ensemblgenomes. The sequence can also be uploaded and displayed in the browser - using the BioJava functionality.

> We plan on writing this work up - to show the potential for an Ensembl Java API, allowing integration of Ensembl datasources with Java visualisation applications - and obviously integration with BioJava will be another big plus. If we can manage to get funding to continue this work we will implement far more functionality in the demo API, and would doubtless use many more BioJava features.
