=============================== Introduction =============================== Bixo is an open source Java web mining toolkit that runs as a series of Cascading pipes. It is designed to be used as a tool for creating customized web mining apps. By building a customized Cascading pipe assembly, you can quickly create a workflow using Bixo that fetches web content, parses, analyzes, and publishes the results. Bixo borrows heavily from the Apache Nutch project, as well as many other open source projects at Apache and elsewhere. Bixo is released under the MIT license. =============================== Building =============================== See http://openbixo.org/documentation/building-bixo/ for full details. You need Apache Ant 1.7 or higher. To get a list of valid targets: % cd <project directory> % ant -p To clean, run the tests and build a jar: % ant clean test jar To create Eclipse project files: % ant eclipse Then, from Eclipse follow the standard procedure to import an existing Java project into your Workspace.
