  <h1>The Ivy java library</h1>

  <p><h2>What is it?</h2>
  <p>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
  <p>You can also use it to integrate any thread-safe java application.
  <p>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. 
  <p>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)

  <p><h2>Getting and installing the Ivy java library</h2>
  You can get the latest versions of the Ivy C library from CENA
  (<a href="http://www.tls.cena.fr/products/ivy/"
  >http://www.tls.cena.fr/products/ivy/</a>). We plan to package it according
  to different distribution formats, such as .msi (Windows), .deb (Debian) or
  .rpm (Redhat). 
  <p>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.
  <p>In order to test the presence of Ivy on your system once installed, run
  the following command: 
  <pre>
$ java fr.dgac.ivy.TestIvy
  </pre>
