title: Accessing my Protege OWL Ontology using Java in Eclipse
body: <p>I've just built a new OWL ontology in protege (classes, properties and individuals). 
  My problem is: How can I access (query) the individuals to use it in a program written in Java under Eclipse.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried the following:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Generate the ontology java code and try to load it using Jena in
  Eclipse but that requires programming using jena and Im not sure if
  I need this.</li>
  <li>Add protege plugin in Eclipse and try to access the OWL file to read
  from the file but that also didn't work.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thus what is the proper method for accessing (Querying) the OWL individuals from protege  in a Java program written under Eclipse.</p>
