Access to the source code

the PAMGUARD source code is stored in a SVN server on the sourceforge site. For general information on how to access the server, click here.

Anyone can access the source code using anonymous (i.e. read only) CVS access. If you feel you need write access to the server, please contact the PAMGUARD development team by emailing info@pamguard.org. Decisions on write access will be made on a case by case basis.

Use of Eclipse

Many PAMGUARD developers use the Eclipse IDE for code development. Click here for instructions on how to configure Eclipse and connect to the PAMGUARD SVN server.

If you require access to the old CVS repository, it is still available on the sourceforge site.

The PAMGUARD guardians have limited time to spend assisting developers if the development project is in line with the interests of our current sponsors. For assistance email info@pamguard.org.
