JGalaxy is a Java/Swing graphical application for bulk downloading files from Galaxy. The hope is that over time it will grow into a full featured frontend for Galaxy, or at very least that features that complement those provided by Galaxy currently will be added (such as batch uploads).

Check out the end-user documentation for instructions on how to run JGalaxy.

JGalaxy can be built and tested with Apache Maven.

    % git clone git:https://github.com/jmchilton/jgalaxy.git
    % cd jgalaxy
    % mvn compile
    % mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.github.jmchilton.jgalaxy.JGalaxy" -Dexec.classpathScope=runtime

JGalaxy is currently deployed as a Java Webstart application so mvn package (required for redistribution), requires setting up a key to sign your packages with - information on how to set this up and configure it can be found in [pom.xml].

Once such a key is in place, mvn package produces files which can be deployed to a web server. You will need to update the resulting .jnlp files codebase attribute to reflect the location you are deploying JGalaxy to.

One may also wish to deploy JGalaxy via a JnlpDownloadServlet. This approach is not what is currently configured, but this JGalaxy branch contains the changes required to get this working.
