          Description

          When you build IGB, existing jar files in the repositories bundle directory are allowed to persist. This makes it difficult to test code changes. To be sure that the IGB build you are running reflects the code you currently have, clear all jar files before building.

          In top level of git repository:
          $ rm *.jar bundles/

          Then build the project
          in Netbeans: right click > clean and build
          in command line: mvn clean install

          If you don't know to clear the bundle directory, this causes a lot of problems in testing. This needs to be very clear in our documentation for developers, particularly in the class for new IGB developers.

              NOTE:
              When you build IGB, existing jar files in the repositories bundle directory are allowed to persist.  
              This may effect any code changes you are trying to test.  
              To be sure that the IGB build you are running reflects the code you currently have, clear all jar files in the bundles directory before building.

              To do this in a development environment:
              In top level of git repository:
              $ rm *.jar bundles/
              Then build the project
              in Netbeans: right click > clean and build
              in command line: mvn clean install

              or

              To do this in IGB:
              Reset preferences to default by: Launching IGB > Preferences > Other Options > Reset Preferences to Default
              Delete the IGB folder in AppData located at C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\IGB (sometimes the AppData folder is "hidden", Go to the View tab in File Explorer and check the Hidden Items checkbox)
              Go to the IGB installation folder (defaults to C:\Program Files\IGB ) and run the uninstall.exe application there.
              Now when you reinstall IGB, it should act as if IGB has never been installed.

              Added the same text to new "Testing your code changes" section in the IGB developers guide: https://wiki.transvar.org/display/igbdevelopers/Developing+Integrated+Genome+Browser
