Description
IGB uses the Genoviz Software Development Kit (SDK), a Swing-based library that implements animated, one-dimensional zooming and many other useful features for genome visualization.
App developers need better documentation for the Genoviz SDK so that they can make use of its features in Apps. Also, IGB platform developers need better documentation so that they can improve the core IGB infrastructure.
When Genoviz was first released as a commercial product, developer Eric Blossom created an interactive tutorial for Genoviz features that used Java applets. The tutorial consists of several interlinked Web pages with embedded java applets.
However, to run the tutorial, users need to configure their Web browser to enable java applets. Also, the java applet tags within the pages may need to be updated with new classpaths, as we changed how the library is getting built when we moved from ant to maven based build system.
For this task, look into the code base and figure out how to get the applets to run properly in the tutorial.
