In the beginning, just one quick paragraph of how to get access to BioJava.
BioJava is open source and you can get the code from Github, however it might be easier this way:
BioJava uses Maven as a build and distribution system. If you are new to Maven, take a look at the Getting Started with Maven guide.
As of version 4, BioJava is available in maven central. This is all you would need to add a BioJava dependency to your projects:
<dependencies>
...
<!-- This imports the latest version of BioJava genomics module -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.biojava</groupId>
<artifactId>biojava-genome</artifactId>
<version>4.2.0</version>
<!-- note: the genomics module depends on the BioJava-core module and will import it automatically -->
</dependency>
<!-- other biojava jars as needed -->
<!-- This imports the latest version of BioJava structure module -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.biojava</groupId>
<artifactId>biojava-structure</artifactId>
<version>4.2.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies> If you run
mvn package
on your project, the BioJava dependencies will be automatically downloaded and installed for you.
