From BioclipseWiki
Welcome to BiclipseWiki. Here the development of Bioclipse is discussed. Bioclipse is built on the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP).
Bioclipse development is split up in Projects and Plugins, and the development progress can be followed in the Roadmap, and the Future Features covering what we want to implement in future versions of Bioclipse. If you would like to join the Bioclipse development, please read the Getting involved article. The Development articles section contains information for checking out, setting up, compiling, and extending Bioclipse.
New to Bioclipse? Read the Getting Started tutorial, or go to Getting Help. Bioclipseblog is run by Ola Spjuth for the Bioclipse development. Developers chat on daily basis on IRC, #bioclipse at irc.freenode.net. A log of the chat is available at: http://colabti.de/irclogger/irclogger_logs/bioclipse and http://moritz.faui2k3.org/irclog/out.pl?channel=bioclipse

28 July 2006: Due to unexpected errors with the PDBWriter, the 1.0.0 is postponed for 2-3 weeks. This gives us time for testing and documentation too. 0.9.9 is the last release before 1.0.0 and will be available on July 29th.

A Mac OS X release will have to wait until Apples SWT compatibility libraries have been improved or if we can find a workaround.

11 May 2006: Bioclipse wins JAX Innovation Audience Award! The Bioclipse team is proud to announce the winning of the JAX Innovation audience award and the 3rd price of the JAX innovation award jury (http://www.jax-award.com/). Ola Spjuth, Egon Willighagen and Christoph Steinbeck attended the ceremony in Wiesbaden, Germany, on 11.05.06 and were very excited to leave the place with not just one but two prices in hand. Ola gave a great presentation and won the audience, while you, the developers of Bioclipse and its components made the other price possible. The Bioclipse team would like to thank all contributors to this great project for making this happen. As you can see from the website, the two prices come with a total of 3000 Euro, which will be used by the International Bioclipse Association to fund meetings and other events propelling the development of Bioclipse.
25 March 2006: in order to reduce spam, you are from now on required to register and login to edit the Bioclipse wiki.
Where is Bioclipse developed?
Bioclipse development is done at a number of different sites all over the world, among which Uppsala (main site), Cologne, Nijmegen and others. It proceeds both by constant development efforts as well as through dedicated hacking sessions. Please see Bioclipse Developers for information about the developers and contributors. We document answers to frequently asked questions in our FAQ.
