## Taverna Project Retired

> tl;dr: The Taverna code base is **no longer maintained** 
> and is provided here for archival purposes.

From 2014 till 2020 this code base was maintained by the 
[Apache Incubator](https://incubator.apache.org/) project _Apache Taverna (incubating)_
(see [web archive](https://web.archive.org/web/20200312133332/https://taverna.incubator.apache.org/)
and [podling status](https://incubator.apache.org/projects/taverna.html)).

In 2020 the Taverna community 
[voted](https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r559e0dd047103414fbf48a6ce1bac2e17e67504c546300f2751c067c%40%3Cdev.taverna.apache.org%3E)
to **retire** Taverna as a project and withdraw the code base from the Apache Software Foundation. 

This code base remains available under the Apache License 2.0 
(see _License_ below), but is now simply called 
_Taverna_ rather than ~~Apache Taverna (incubating)~~.

While the code base is no longer actively maintained, 
Pull Requests are welcome to the 
[GitHub organization taverna](http://github.com/taverna/), 
which may infrequently be considered by remaining 
volunteer caretakers.

  versions probably also work)


# Building

To build, use

    mvn clean install

This will build each module and run their tests.


## Building on Windows

If you are building on Windows, ensure you unpack this source code
to a folder with a [short path name](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1880321/why-does-the-260-character-path-length-limit-exist-in-windows) 
lenght, e.g. `C:\src` - as 
Windows has a [limitation on the total path length](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247%28VS.85%29.aspx#maxpath) 
which might otherwise
prevent this code from building successfully.


## Skipping tests

To skip the tests (these can be timeconsuming), use:

    mvn clean install -DskipTests


If you are modifying this source code independent of the
Taverna project, you may not want to run the
[Rat Maven plugin](https://creadur.apache.org/rat/apache-rat-plugin/)
that enforces Apache headers in every source file - to disable it, try:

    mvn clean install -Drat.skip=true
