How to Compile and Run JSwat

Requirements

JSwat depends on the Java Platform Debugger Architecture (JPDA). See the JPDA website for more information. The required classes are generally found in a file called tools.jar which is located in the lib directory of your JDK. Fortunately, the JSwat build files automatically include this file in the classpath, so you do not have to take any action at this time.

Compiling JSwat

To compile JSwat you will need the latest version of the Apache Ant tool. Download and install this tool before continuing. Granted, you could compile JSwat without Ant, but it would take longer to explain than it would for you to install Ant.

Compile JSwat by invoking 'ant compile' on the command line.

Running JSwat

To run JSwat, use the command 'ant go' and it will start after a few seconds. As with compiling, you could run JSwat without Ant, but you would not want to once you knew how.
