Re: [OWLAPI-developer] Online binaries missing OWLAxiom java class?

Hmm, it should.  It should be in the owlapi-api.jar in the  
org.semanticweb.owl.model package.

This isn't necessarily bad, because OWLSubClassAxiom is an interface  
(a subinterface of OWLAxiom), however, you should be able to use  
OWLAxiom.  Something that has just occurred to me is you might be  
using an old version of the API, which did have OWLSubClassAxiom, but  
not OWLAxiom - which version of the API are you using?

Cheers,
