Groningen fork analysis
Groningen fork analysis
There are a few forks of the original groningen code from code.google.com on GitHub. Most interesting are matttproud/groningen and sladeware/groningenrepositories. Both matttproud/groningen and sladeware/groningen were createad by one of original groningen developers, as mirrors of the code.google.com repository on the 3rd of August 2012.
When trying to run code from matttproud/groningen same problems are encountered as when runing original code from code.google.com even though it appears many changes have been made. However, it seems development of groningen has continued on sladeware/groningen by original authors as well as some new contributors. It appers the project is alive and new updates are made from time to time.

Installation of sladeware/groningen is the same as installation of the original code. There is also a home page containing more information on sladeware/groningen such as a quick overwiev, design summary and some deployment information. When runing with java -jar target/groningen-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar no problems are encountered and http server is started on port 8080. When going to localhost:8080 in a browser, the following interface will appear.

However, runing Groningen with the sample configuration file provided on the deployment page will result in an error unless comments are removed.
