Hello - Apologies for the out of dateness of the information. You have basically 3 options.
1) get biojava1.4 pre1 release (the most recent official release from the download site) 2) get a nightly snapshot from http://www.derkholm.net/autobuild/ (reccomended) 3) get biojava-live from CVS (probably not best for beginners) You need the following on your class path: biojava.jar (version number depends on release or date of snapshot) bytecode-0.92.jar commons-cli.jar commons-collections-2.1.jar commons-dbcp-1.1.jar commons-pool-1.1.jar At this point your done and dusted and should be able to run some demos from BioJava in Anger. You probably also want the docs and the source but you don't need them to run anything. Hope this helps...

I've been looking at BioJava in Anger and it seems like a great resource. However, the "How do I get and install BioJava" section leaves a little to be desired. I'd already found the page it links to, and perhaps it's what needs updating. The problem is particularly acute for those not around other users where one can ask a question. There's no real "here's what you need first" info there comparable to the "You will also need" section. The link to the Download area leads to confusion, in that there are 6 or 7 directories full of multiple versions of probably wonderful things, but somehow I doubt I really need to download the whole mess to get started. Perhaps somewhere there could be a short Readme.txt that says "If you're just getting started, start with these files: .... Then check out the tutorials." or some such.
