The following paragraph (about creation of the distribution) is for 
developers of AIDA only, to _use_ AIDA, simply include/import the 
files you want from the corresponding language directory inside 
the "src" directory -- the tar file contains the distribution.



Creation of the distribution
============================
To create the distribution you need to use the "ant" tool, which
is provided as part of the cvs checked out repository.

The version number of AIDA sits in config/aida.properties

Set the following environment variables:
AIDA = PathToThisDirectory

Add the following to your PATH environment variable:
$AIDA/tools

Make sure you have version 1.4 or higher of java:
java -version

Run ANT from this directory with any of the following targets:
ant clean           - clean up
ant all             - (default target) compiles and creates the jar files
ant doc             - builds the apidoc
ant dist            - compiles, creates jar, create doc and builds distribution

ant -projecthelp    - gives info on other targets. Since a standard build file is
                      used, some targets may not have been defined for AIDA
                      
The result of "ant dist" is available as tar.gz and .zip files in dist.


You may need to set the following environment variables (examples are 
for Linux at CERN):

export JAVA_HOME=/afs/cern.ch/sw/java/i386_redhat61/jdk/sun-1.4.1
export JDK_HOME=/afs/cern.ch/sw/java/i386_redhat61/jdk/sun-1.4.1
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
