openVirus uses a variety of software. An important one is https://github.com/petermr/ami3 . At present petermr is the only developer and maintainer of ami3. It does not have a good PR practice, and we need this if it is to be significantly developed.

• do any openVirus participants wish to work on developing ami3
• if so, how do we wish to manage PRs
• how do we record contributions?

We now have 3 devs. Others can leave queries/bugs/suggestions here as a "postbox".

java version

@remkop has suggested moving to Java 14. I'm happy. Would that break anybody?

#installing ami on Eclipse

@gilad>How did you get the cloned git folder into Eclipse? I tried importing it as an existing folder and it didn't recognize it, nor checking it out directly in Eclipse using the Git plugin worked... I just installed Eclipse 2020-03, by the way.

PMR> I normally:

• install commandline git. On MacOSX I use brew install git. On Unix it's probably apt-get git.
• git clone https://github.com/petermr/ami3.git . This clones the whole repo into a subdirectory ./ami3/

Then open Eclipse, Import | maven | existing projects browse to the ami3 directory and select ami3.jar Import it.

It's one of those things that used to give me a lot of trouble and now it doesn't. The Eclipse interface does not give good clues as to what to click.

It then should churr away importing this into a toplevel project called ami3 (It's visually more complex with multi module projects).
