Hi Daniel, In the binary distribution, all I saw were a few jar files. would it work if I just let CLASSPATH point to them? Or do I need to dump those files to a certain directory?
See the problem is that in the README.txt file provided, if I were to skip the BUILDING section, the only remaining section is RUNNING, which says nothing about the jar files. I think the README.txt file could use some work; in addtion, the src package does not compile and that is not good either.
