Greg,

Thanks for your work on the examples. Of course, I am chomping at the bit to try them out, so I may be getting ahead of more instructions and a non-svn distribution that are coming. If so, I can wait.

========================================================================

Remember I'm a total newbie who may have little or no command line experience. I hope if I ask all the questions I can think of we can produce a Readme that will work across a good range of new users.

I checked out the examples from SVN, and read README.md

It told me I need Maven, and where to get it, and then says

"To build the examples, simply unpack the source distribution of 'river-examples',
and then,

    cd river-examples
    mvn install
    mvn site"

What exactly do I unpack, and how do I unpack it?

What sort of environment do I need for this to work?

It looks as though I need a UNIX-ish shell, because it uses cd.

I am guessing I need at least a JVM, perhaps a JDK. What version or versions? Will it work with Cygwin under Windows 8.1? In a Windows command tool under Windows 8.1?

Patricia
