This folder contains all necessary java libraries to compile MIR. Have a look at the /doc folder for java libraries that have to be present on your system in order to make MIR run. The libraries should be stored in this folder containing their version in the filename. The filename should look like: name-of-library-x.y.z.jar A description and url should be added here. Please keep track of the documentation! If there are things to be done regarding a certain library, this is stated in a todo field Make sure to check in the libs with the binary flag. If you forgot to do so you can fire up "cvs admin -kb [name_of_lib]" Now the descriptions in alphabetical order: avalon-framework-4.0 ------------------------------------------------ version : 4.0 url : http://avalon.apache.org/framework description: The Avalon Framework consists of interfaces that define relationships between commonly used application components, best-of-practice pattern enforcements, and several lightweight convenience implementations of the generic components. todo : update to 4.1.4 batik ------------------------------------------------ version : ?? url : http://xml.apache.org/batik/ description: batik is for images in the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) todo : check if necessary / update to version 1.1.1 MIR compiles without it.
