201. Type `ant download-lib` to automatically download the BASE core JAR file that
21   are neeed for compilation. You can also do this manually by copying the
22   BASE2Core.jar, BASE2CorePlugins.jar, BASE2Webclient.jar and BASE2WSClient.jar files from the
23   BASE installation directory (<basedir>/www/WEB-INF/lib/) to the ./lib/compile
24   directory.
25
262. Type `ant` to compile the code and put everything you need into
27   the ./dist directory.
28   
293. See the INSTALL file for installation instructions.
30
314. Use `ant package` to create a downloadable tar.gz package in the ./package
32   directory.

38To make the development and testing of this plug-in easier do the following steps:
39
401. First time compilation and installation: Compile the source and
41   follow the instructions above and in the INSTALL and README files.
42   
43
442. Enabled the plug-in autoreload functionality in BASE by adding the following
45   configuration option to your base.config file:
46   
47   plugins.autounload = 1
48   
49   You may have to restart Tomcat after the change.
50   
51
523. Change the JAR path of the Illumina plug-ins to point to the JAR file in:
53
54   ./dist/illumina-plugins.jar
55
56   NOTE! You must of course enter the absolute path or BASE will not find the
57   plug-in.
58   
59
604. Now, when you change the code and re-compile it, BASE will
61   automatically detect the change and reload the new code the next
62   time you run the plug-in. There is no need to restart Tomcat or to
63   manually unload the old plug-in code.
