[Biojava-l] Re: Biojava-l Digest, Vol 8, Issue 3

Hi, 

You know biojava is just a .jar package,It doesn't needs any installation. 

So what ever java comipler or IDE you use,the key point is to set the right 
classpath of it for the java compiler.You run on windows 2000,and if your 
compliler is just jdk, you can do it by the steps below: 

1.right click "my computer" on your desktop
2.selected the property item in the menu items, and a window of system 
property will come out.
3.click the label of "advanced"
4.clicke the "enviroment variable" button, and you can add the classpath to 
the enviroment now, while you can choose to add it to just the current user 
or the whole system.
5. new a enviroment variable with the name "Classpath", and add the correct 
path of your biojava.jar to the value of it. 

But if you use java IDE to compile the files, you must set the classpath of 
biojava in the IDE for your project.That might will take you some time to 
find the right place in the IDE to add the classpath, but it necessary to 
know the IDE well if you use it to do your work,right? So we must be 
patient. 

Hope it helps,
