+= Development installation of XGAP =
+XGAP builds on the MOLGENIS toolbox for XgapCustomization. There are three steps involved in the development installation of XGAP:
+
+ * Download XGAP from the repository. Currently we use version 1.2
+ * Download [http://www.molgenis.org MOLGENIS] from a repository. Currently we use version 3.3
+ * Check buildpath and running of the generator
+
+We will now go into detail for each of these steps.
+
+== Download XGAP source code from subversion ==
+For this tutorial it is assumed you already installed Java, MySQL and Tomcat as described in XgapInstall or [http://www.molgenis.org/wiki/MolgenisInstall MolgenisInstall]. 
+
+1) Get an IDE such as Eclipse (see: http://www.eclipse.org) and install by extracting the archive.
+
+'''For this tutorial, we assume you use Eclipse and start out with a clean installation and a new workspace.'''
+
+2) Install Subclipse (see: http://subclipse.tigris.org):
+
+ * Go to Help -> Install New Software...
+ * Paste the URL '''http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x''' or equivalent, tick 'Subclipse', click Next
+
+[[Image(svn1.png)]]
+
+ * Click Next again, 'I agree' (if you do), Finish.
+ * Restart Eclipse 'Yes'.
+
+3) Switch to SVN perpective:
+
+ * Go to Window -> Open Perspective -> Other...
+ * Select 'SVN Repository Exploring'
+
+4) Add the XGAP repository:
+
+ * Click right-mouse button in the SVN window
+
+[[Image(svn2.png)]]
+
+ * Enter this URL: http://www.xgap.org/svn and click Finish.
+
+5) Download the XGAP distro:
+
+ * Expand the repository. Right-click on 'xgap_1_2_distro' and select Checkout.
+
+[[Image(svn3.png)]]
+
+ * Leave the settings and click Finish.
+
+[[Image(svn4.png)]]
+
+== Download MOLGENIS ==
+
+1) Stay in SVN perspective or repeat Step 3 of 'Download XGAP'.
+
+2) Add the XGAP repository:
+
+ * Click right-mouse button in the SVN window
+ * Enter this URL:  http://gbic.target.rug.nl/svn/molgenis and click Finish. 
+
+3) Download the MOLGENIS toolbox:
+
+ * Expand the repository. Expand the folder 'molgenis', right-click on '3.3' and select Checkout.

+
+== Running XGAP ==
+The distro doesn't contain generated code. So we will first generate this code. Then we will update the database and run XGAP. See http://www.molgenis.org/wiki/MolgenisGeneratorBasics for general details on this procedure.
+
+1) Switch back to Java EE perspective. (either use the toolbar or Window -> Open Perspective)
+
+2) Check the xgap_1_2_distro build path. The XGAP distro project has a number of pre-set dependancies. The 'Java EE module dependancies' should include the 'molgenis' project as well as the libraries contained within.
+
+[[Image(svn6.png)]]
+
+3) The other libraries needed are as such:
+
+[[Image(svn7.png)]]
+
+4) When this is set up correctly, you can run the !MolgenisGenerate.java to generate the code for the XGAP system. You can find the generator in handwritten/java:
+
+[[Image(svn8.png)]]
+
+5) Refresh eclipse to pick up the generated code. To this end rightclick on the xgap_1_2_distro and click 'Refresh'. The code is now compiled.
+
+With all the code compiled we can now update the database and run XGAP. We assume you have created a xgap_1_2_distro database as described in XgapInstall and have given MOLGENIS permission to access it.
+
+6) To update the database structure, run !MolgenisUpdateDatabase.java. This updates the database structure
+
+7) Run XGAP by right-clicking the xgap_1_2_distro project and choosing 'Run -> Run on server'. Notice: on the first run this will in a dialog asking you to define a new server. Choose Tomcat of your version and choose [next] to point it to the right directory.
