-In this folder you have to link all the necessary
-java-libraries
+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 jar-files in this directory are compiled for linux.
-If you want to use an other os you have to replace them.
+The libraries should be stored in this folder containing
+their version in the filename. The filename should look like:
-1. Java Advanced Imaging
- jai_core.jar
- jai_codec.jar
+ name-of-library-x.y.z.jar
-3. Freemarker HTML-Templatelibraries
- freemarker.jar
- freemarker-utility.jar
- both version 1.6.2
+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
-4. Oreilly Servlets
- cos.jar (version 06/19/2001)
+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]"
-5. DBConnectionBroker
- dbconnectionbroker.jar
+Now the descriptions in alphabetical order:
