Adding New DataSources

So you've completed a new DataSource implementation and wish to add it to GenoMedium?

Actually, the process is quite simple. All you have to do is export the DataSource plug-in to the "plugins" directory of your GenoMedium installation and then (re)start.

Below is a more detailed set of instructions.

(These instructions assume you are working inside the Eclipse IDE and specifically are working with Eclipse version 3.2)

1. Right-click your DataSource plug-in
2. Click Export...
3. Select Java/Jar file
4. Click Next
5. Select the export destination (navigate to the "plugins" directory of your GenoMedium installation)
6. Click Finish
7. Start/Restart GenoMedium

To check whether or not your new DataSource implementation has been successfully registered by GenoMedium click "Query" > "Data Source". The name of your DataSource should appear in the dialog that opens. To start using your DataSource, simple highlight it and click "Ok".
