BioJava:Download 3.0

This page offers downloads for the BioJava 3.0 release.

BioJava 3.0 requires Java 1.6 or later.

About

BioJava 3.0 has been released and is available using Maven from http://biojava.org/download/maven/

Over the last year BioJava has undergone a major re-write. It has been modularized into small, re-usable components and a number of new features have been added. The new approach, modeled after the apache commons, minimizes dependencies and allows for easier contribution of new components.

View the page for a list of current modules.

Maven Download

BioJava 3.0 requires Maven for the build process. We are providing a BioJava specific Maven repository at http://biojava.org/download/maven/ .

You can add the BioJava repository by adding the following XML to your project .pom file:

    <repositories>
        ...
        <repository>
            <id>biojava-maven-repo</id>
            <name>BioJava repository</name>
            <url>http://www.biojava.org/download/maven/</url>           
        </repository>
