How to install ACE View for Protege v5.5? #18

Closed carbonmetrics closed 3 years ago

carbonmetrics commented 5 years ago

I am trying to install aceview in protege 5.5.0 Built beta-3, following http://attempto.ifi.uzh.ch/aceview/ section 2. Both links do not result in protege picking up the plugins. I have downloaded the jar file, and this is also not picked up by protege. How do I install aceview?

Kaljurand commented 5 years ago

ACE View is not compatible with newer versions of Protege. A Protege 4.2-compatible version is available at https://github.com/Kaljurand/aceview/releases

Unfortunately, I haven't found time to keep up to date with the developments in Protege and update ACE View accordingly. But you are welcome of contribute this update, ideally via a pull request.

You could try to install the jar from https://github.com/Kaljurand/aceview/releases/tag/v2.0.0-alpha which seems compatible with Protege v5.5.

This is based on the work https://github.com/michael-aquilina/acepddl

Are there any extra steps to install this? I placed it in the plugins directory, but no indication that it was loaded appears in the GUI and no errors either.

@step21 You additionally need to enable the "Window -> Tabs -> ACE View" Protege menu option.

The installation instructions (on the Linux commandline) are:

cd plugins/
wget https://github.com/Kaljurand/aceview/releases/download/v2.0.0-alpha/ch.uzh.ifi.attempto.aceview.ui.view.jar
cd ..
./run.sh

On the console you should see something like:

That option was not there, and on the console, there was no indication of the plugin being loaded. This was on MacOS, though I would have tried on Linux next.

The issue was, there are 2 plugin folders. I copied it into Protege.app/Contents/Plugins/ but upon trying and googling again it turns out the correct folder is Protege.app/Contents/Java/plugins/. After copying it to the right folder it worked. Thanks and sorry for taking up your time.
