This directory contains a simple Java program that can be used as a template for writing CIPRES services in Java. Some service implementations are bundled within the CIPRES library in $(CIPRES_TOP)/cipres-examples and $(CIPRES_TOP)/phyloservices This template is intended for developers who do not necessarily want to have their code bundles with CIPRES. The CIPRES Java libraries must already be built and installed to compile this example. CIPRES_TOP specifies the absolute path to the top of the CIPRES source code distribution (the directory should contain a file with the name "This-is-in-CIPRES_TOP.txt"). Make sure that CIPRES_TOP is in your environment or is used when invoking configure The build procedure is: sh bootstrap.sh ./configure --prefix= make make install The "sh bootstrap.sh" step is only required for developers (it generates the configure script from configure.ac) Running configure generates the Makefile. After configuration the ant build.xml file may be used (instead of using "make" to build and install).
