UPDATES

as brand new releases including new features. Check the web site from

CONTENTS
=======================================================================
  This archive contains the sources of the Jext software. The sources
of the core are placed in the src/ directory.

  Here are the contents of the src/ directory:
- docs : contains the files needed to build the documentation. The
         soft used for generation is missing but can be freely
         downloaded (see docs/bin/bin.txt)

- lib : contains the sources of Jext itself

- plugins: contains the sources of the default plugins

  The file jext.manifest is used to produce the binary jar file and
the file jext.version is used for update warnings in Jext (this file
is uploaded on a FTP server).

COMPILING SOURCES
=======================================================================
  In order to compile Jext you need to download the tool called ANT
from the following URL: http://jakarta.apache.org/ant

  Beware of the fact that only ANT 1.2 or higher will compile Jext !

  Then, simply open a terminal console in the directory where you
unpacked both the sources and the binaries (you need to download TWO
archives from the Jext web site) and run ANT in the src\ directory.
Several targets are available. Most used are: compile, jar, javadocs,
dist, dist-tgz
