ivy-java README
-----------------
This is open source software distributed under the terms of the GNU
Lesser General Public License. See the COPYING.LIB file for details.
Some included utilities are distributed under the terms of the GNU
General Public License, a copy of which is included in the file COPYING.
This page has been hugely inspired from the one Wes wrote for the gnu-regexp
package. As I am a newbie in package creation, I start from an existing one.
INSTALLING
Copy the ivy-java jar file (located in the 'lib' directory)
to your usual installation directory for Java archives.
To use ivy-java, you will need to include it in your classpath
setting. Typically this is done by adding an entry to your CLASSPATH
variable setting with the full path to the JAR file, e.g.
csh: % setenv CLASSPATH ${CLASSPATH}:/usr/java/lib/ivy-java-1.0.9.jar
bash: % export CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}:/usr/java/lib/ivy-java-1.0.9.jar
DOS: > set CLASSPATH %CLASSPATH%;C:\Java\lib\ivy-java-1.0.9.jar
Various shells and operating systems may have slightly different methods.
Consult your Java virtual machine documentation for details. You may also
specify the -classpath option to the java executable, e.g.
compile: % javac -classpath /usr/java/lib/ivy-java-1.0.9.jar MyClass.java
execute: % java -classpath /usr/java/lib/ivy-java-1.0.9.jar MyClass
DOCUMENTATION
HTML documentation will be provided in the 'doc' directory. This is basically
a snapshot of the official ivy-java web site (see below for URL). The
documentation files are:
doc/ivy-java.1 -- man page
doc/html/api/*.html -- javadoc generated info
UTILITIES
ivy-java comes with a number of simple utility programs intended to test
and demonstrate its features. These are compiled into the Java archive
file. To run the TestIvySwing program, you will need the swing package if you
are running a jdk1.1 . If you want to run Probe or IvyDaemon, you will also
need gnu.getopt, which is available at
http://www.urbanophile.com/~arenn/hacking/download.html, and put those
class files in your classpath as well.
HACKING
You are free to fold, spindle, mutilate and modify this library,
provided you follow the terms outlined in COPYING.LIB. The ivy-java
project team gratefully accepts any bug fixes or enhancements you may
come up with (see the TODO file if you're in need of some ideas). A
few parameters at the top of the Makefile in the 'src' directory
need to be edited to match your local system setup.
BUG REPORTS
Send bug reports to <jestin@cena.fr>, or join the ivy mailing list
by sending a "subscribe" message to <ivy-request@tls.cena.fr>. It helps
if you can send a code sample showing the messages you were
using and how you were using it.
LATEST VERSION
You can always obtain info about the latest version of ivy-java at
http://www.tls.cena.fr/~jestin/ivy-java. New versions are also announced on
the ivy mailing list (see above).
Thanks!
Yannick Jestin <jestin@cena.fr>
