Java implementation

Current release

The current release of Alida is 2.3.

Since release 2.3 we support Maven for managing Alida's project resources.
You can download the release files as well as the Maven artifacts from our Maven server:

https://moon.informatik.uni-halle.de/archiva/browse/de.unihalle.informatik.Alida/alida/2.3

Amongst others you can find there...

• ... the Alida Distribution including documentation, Release 2.3: https://moon.informatik.uni-halle.de/archiva/repository/releases/de/unihalle/informatik/Alida/alida/2.3/alida-2.3-bin.zip
• ... the binaries only, Release 2.3: https://moon.informatik.uni-halle.de/archiva/repository/releases/de/unihalle/informatik/Alida/alida/2.3/alida-2.3.jar
• ... the Alida API, Release 2.3: https://moon.informatik.uni-halle.de/archiva/repository/releases/de/unihalle/informatik/Alida/alida/2.3/alida-2.3-javadoc.jar

Note that Alida's implementation requires at least Java 1.6 (Java 1.7 is not yet fully supported).

Earlier releases (< 2.3)

In the pre-Maven era Alida's dependencies on external jars had to be managed manually. Alida required some external jars included in the Alida binary zipfiles (since v2.0).

For earlier versions the following external jars are needed to use Alida:

• XMLBeans, Version 2.5.0
• XStream, Version 1.3.1
• JavaHelp, Version 2.0_05

In addition, Alida requires some more libraries which are in-house developments:

• Alida requires some graphml extensions to be found in aldgraphml.jar.
• Since release 2.2 saving and loading of configurations is based on XML beans, hence Alida requires some additional xml packages to be found in alida-xmlprovider.jar.
• The graphical operator runner features an online help system based on JavaHelp System which is included in Alida-Help.jar.

If you download the Alida binary zipfile you will find these two libraries in the subdirectory intjars of the zipfile.
Make sure that all of them are in the classpath when executing the operator runners.
