Maven Dependencies

The JEnsembl API and Configuration dependencies should both be imported in your project 'pom.xml':


  <dependency>
    <groupId>uk.ac.roslin</groupId>
    <artifactId>ensembl-data-access</artifactId>
    <version>1.78</version>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>uk.ac.roslin</groupId>
    <artifactId>ensembl-config</artifactId>
    <version>1.78</version>
  </dependency>

Non-Maven Download

Compiled releases of all of the libraries of JEnsembl API (together with the source and JavaDoc JARs) are available in a zip file on the File Download Page (e.g. Releases/1_78/release1_78.zip). By including all of the included java jar libraries on your classpath you will be able to programmatically access Ensembl and EnsemblGenomes. Alternatively, a single bundled library (jensembl-bundle-no-config.jar) may be used for convenience, together with the configuration library ensembl-config.jar) (see examples page).

Third party dependencies are also provided in the Maven Dependencies (JAR artifacts) directory.

Demonstration Code

Example code can be downloaded from the File Download Page (e.g. Releases/1_78/ensembl-test-1.78-sources.jar) as well as being available on Subversion (EnsemblTest). The examples are described and further code snips are also shown here.
