Ok, thanks. BTW, I'm confused about something. I'm looking at the project named "batterytech" here:
http://www.batterytechsdk.com/sdk-documentation/group___eclipse_setup.html Can you tell me what the end product is of building that? Is it a .so file or .jar or something? How do the other projects link to the "batterytech" project?
