Get and Build the Source Code
Getting the source code
The source code for this project is kept in a subversion repository. This repository is available for anonymous download. Here is the URL:
DFS Repository: svn://www.proteomecommons.org/svn/DFS
We've prepared a brief developer tutorial to introduce new contributors to the process of checking out and committing code to our Subversion server, as well as using NetBeans to manage the projects.
If you would like to change the code, it is suggested that you send in patches of your changes. This project does allow for open development, and we are actively looking for people willing to commit code; however, new coders often take a while to get up to speed. If you would like direct write access to the subversion repository, please start by sending in a few patches and then politely asking one of the existing project maintainers.
Building the code
The code may be built using the Java-based build tool Ant. The default task compiles a distribution. The clean task will remove any junk files that are generated, i.e. hopefully making the code suitable for SVN commit/updates.
If you would like to compile the code, download the code from the repository and execute the dist.app.linux target to do a clean compile of the code. The dist.app.website will do a full build including all of the documentation you see here.
If you'd like to set up the code in an IDE for development or testing, see Setting Up the Development Environment.
