- [optional] change settings (can be done later, deployment)
-- properties file: ca.ualberta.xdong.plasMapper.annotate.plasMapConfiguration_en_CA.properties
-- change '/home/tomcat/webapps/PlasMapper' to the path where PlasMapper will be deploed

-
4. run ant install
5. copy dist/webapps/PlasMapper to webapps of the application server
