text: user6507: I am interested in using RDP classifier and RDPTools at the command line.  In following the docs from RDP, I ran into this issue during the build, after running make:

  Total time: 1 second
  Makefile:15: recipe for target 'Clustering/dist/Clustering.jar' failed
  make: *** [Clustering/dist/Clustering.jar] Error 1
  
  As one user suggested, I have tried downgrading from ant 1.10 to ant 1.9, this didn't work for me.
  I would rather not downgrade to JDK 7 as another user suggested if possible so I am looking for alternatives. One user was able to install rdp classifier with bioconda. I was able to do that OK. However, I'm not sure where to go from here? The tutorial provided with commands like: 
  java -Xmx2g -jar ~/RDPTools/Clustering.jar derep -m '#=GC_RF' -o derep.fa all_seqs.ids all_seqs.samples alignment/*.fasta
  
  Depend on the build created using the install method recommended by RDP.  
  Does anyone else use rdp classifier installed via conda?  Is there a quickstart guide out there that I could refer to?  Thanks so much for your help!
  
  user77: The benefit of using the conda package is that you no longer need to know or care exactly where the jar files are (that many java-based packages require this is TERRIBLE design). The example java -jar ... command in your post becomes:
  Clustering derep -m '#=GC_RF' -o derep.fa all_seqs.ids all_seqs.samples alignment/*.fasta
  
  in the bioconda version. In bioconda packages, there are wrapper (usually python) scripts meant to provide somewhat friendlier interfaces to java programs that otherwise lack executables. In this case, RDP Classfier has the following executables in bioconda:
  
  AbundanceStats
  AlignmentTools
  Clustering
  FrameBot
  KmerFilter
  ProbeMatch
  ReadSeq
  SeqFilters
  SequenceMatch
  hmmgs
  classifier
  
  If you really want to know, the .jar file is under $PREFIX/share/rdptools-$PKG_VERSION-$PKG_BUILDNUM/, where $PREFIX is where ever the environment is and the other two variables indicate the package version and build number (at the moment, rdptools-2.0.2-1 would be the likely folder name).
