Commons NET has an examples/ tree which is compiled and released as a separate bundle. Note that this is under src/main/java, not under the userguide, but it should be relatively easy to maintain the examples there and copy to (or link from) the userguide. The NET examples jar has a feature you might find useful. It defines the Main-Class and the Class-Path. This means it can be invoked using java -jar commons-net-examples.jar ExampleName parameters. This assumes that the user has put the examples and main net jars in the same directory. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
