<h1 class="titre">Alignment API: Libraries shipped with the package (release 4.5)</h1>
<p>The Alignment API uses a number of external libraries. These libraries

are shipped (in the lib directory) with the Alignment API. Each
subdirectory of the lib directory
contains <a href="maven.html#pom">Project Object
Models (POM)</a> which provide information about the version,
license and dependencies for these libraries.
Jérôme Euzenat
committed
</p>
<p>
We provide here the list of these libraries together with the
reason why they may be necessary within the API and some other
information.
</p>
<p>
Some of these libraries are necessary for recompiling the Alignment
API. Some of them are only needed at runtime when invoking the
feature that uses them. You may use this information for restricting
the libraries to only the one you need.
</p>
<p>
Here is a picture of the various dependencies involved:
