This page offers downloads for the BioJava Legacy 1.8.1 release.

About

BioJava legacy 1.8.1 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. A new code base has been started under the codename BioJava 3. The old BioJava code (or BioJava 1 or BioJava Legacy) has been modularized into small, re-usable components and is available for download on this page.

Maven Download

BioJava Legacy 1.8.1 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>
    </repositories>
