Opening a project in Protege 4.3.0
Posted: 21 Nov 2013, 03:27
I've installed Protege (4.3.0 build 304), Apache TomCat (6.0), GraphViz (2.26.3) and Essential (Standalone; 4.3), and Java (JRE 1.7.0-b147, a.k.a 1.7.0_45). As far as I can tell, everything seems to be more-or-less working.
However, when I fire up Protege, it doesn't behave the way that the Essential 'Getting started' guide (http://www.enterprise-architecture.org/ ... ture-model) tells me it should. In particular, there is no 'Welcome' dialogue asking me for a project to open. It just goes straight to what appears to be the main panel, looking at 'untitled-ontology-[n]' which appears to be on www.semanticweb.org/...(?!).
The Essential standalone installation instructions (http://www.enterprise-architecture.org/ ... tand-alone) tell me to configure Protege via 'File--> Preferences' and "Un-select the option 'Sort class tree (Classes Tab)'", but there is no such tab or option anywhere in Protege 4.3.0's preferences dialogue as far as I can tell.
If I try to open the project manually via 'File-->Open...' like the 'Getting started' guide tells me, it only appears to be interested in OWL files, not projects. There is no "Open other..." option anywhere that I can see. If I force it to open the Essential .pprj file, the OWL interpreter complains (correctly) that it's not a valid OWL (XML) file, nor is it validly any other type that it's trying to recognise (again, no mention of 'project' files).
Have I missed a step somewhere, or is there some setting I'm supposed to tweak? I can't see any mention of 'projects' anywhere in Protege.
