If you only want to use PROGEX there is no need to build from source. You can simply refer to the releases page, download the latest stable release and you can find the progex.jar file and all its dependencies in order to test run the tool.

If you want to modify and develop your own changes, then here are the steps:

1. First clone the following two repos and do mvn install in each project:

• https://github.com/ghaffarian/nanologger
• https://github.com/ghaffarian/graphs

2. Now you can do mvn compile in PROGEX. But you still can't run the unit-tests.
3. In order to run the unit-tests and do a full mvn install cycle, you need to create two directories:

• src/test/resources/java/benchmark-v1.2/
• src/test/resources/java/juliet-v1.3/

4. After creating the above directories you can do a full mvn clean install of the project.

Thank you!

I just released PROGEX-v3.4.0 with several improvements.
The requirement to create some directories to pass the unit-tests is now removed
and developer's guide is now added to the README.

Excellent! Thank you!
