## OWLTools Build Instructions

The OWLTools use maven as a build tool. 

These instructions assume that a valid maven installation is available. The recommended maven version is 3.0.x, whereby x denotes the latest release for this branch. 

### Building OWLTools

#### Option 1: Command line

1) Change into to the folder of `OWLTools-Parent`

2a) Run command: `mvn clean package`: This will trigger a complete build of all OWLTools projects and generate the required jars for execution. Remark: As part of the build the tests are executed. Any failed test will stop the build.

2b) Build without test execution (Not Recommended): Run command: mvn clean package -Dmaven.test.skip.exec=true
  
#### Option 2: Eclipse

Requires either: 
* Eclipse 3.7
* Eclipse 3.6 with installed maven plugin m2e

Use the provided Eclipse launch configurations to trigger the build. The configuration are located in the `OWLTools-Parent/eclipse-configs` folder.


## Running OWLTools (Unix and MacOS)

Running OWLTools requires a successful build, as described in the previous section.
 
+ OWLTools Command-Line Tools: The executables and the generated jar are both located in `OWLTools-Runner/bin`

+ OORT: The executables and the generated jar are both located in `OWLTools-Oort/bin`
