[Biojava-l] problems installing biojava on Windows 2000

[David Millis]

Mark -

Thanks for your response to my message. 

I am using the netBeans 3.5 IDE for editing and compiling Java files. I
have found that if I mount the biojava-1.30-jdk14.jar archive inside the
IDE, the Java compiler is able to find all the files it needs, even if I
don't edit the Windows PATH variable. I have finally been able to get
one of the example from "BioJava In Anger" to compile without any
errors. This is so much easier than trying to get the PATH variable set
exactly right in Windows that I will just use this strategy.

David Millis.

Hi -

Your class path looks OK but you can check that it has actually been set
by running set command with no arguments from the command prompt. If the
CLASSPATH variable is not displaying properly there then it is not
properly set (possibly incorrect syntax).

If you are running BioJava 1.3 or less you will also need the
Jakarta-Regexp jar on your path.

Hello,

I am new to using biojava. I am trying to install biojava on a PC
running Windows 2000 Professional. I am using Java 2 SDK version 1.4.2.
I have downloaded the files in the "binaries" directory in the download
area of the biojava server to the directory "C:\biojava" on my computer.
I have added the 
string


"C:\biojava;C:\biojava\biojava.jar;C:\biojava\xerces.jar;C:\biojava\byte
code.jar;" 

to my PATH variable. When I try to compile one of the simple demo files,
like AlphabetExample.java, I get error messages saying that the packages
"org.biojava.bio.symbol.*" and "org.biojava.bio.seq.*" can't be found.
Is there something else I have to do to get the biojava files installed
correctly?

Thanks -
David Millis.
