The Ivy java library

What is it?

The Ivy J library (aka ivy-java) is a java package that allows you to connect applications to an Ivy bus. You can use it to write applications in java 1.1

You can also use it to integrate any thread-safe java application.

The Ivy java library is known to compile and work in WindowsNT and Linux environments. There are reported bugs for the java 2 jdk1.3 platform. It should be easy to use on most java environments.

The Ivy java library was originally developed by François-Régis Colin and Yannick Jestin at CENA. It is maintained by a group at CENA (Toulouse, France)

Getting and installing the Ivy java library

The package is distributed as a JAR file. In order to use it, either add it in your CLASSPATH, or put the jar in your $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/ directory, if you use a jdk1.2. The package contains the documentation, the sources and the class files for the fr.dgac.ivy package.

In order to test the presence of Ivy on your system once installed, run the following command:

$ java fr.dgac.ivy.TestIvy
