Installation of xmlBlaster

Requirements server side

Quick installation in a few seconds

This is for distributions only, if you have checked out from subversion (version control) with svn read the above INSTALL file.

Start the server without special environment settings and no special CLASSPATH settings:

Change to the installed xmlBlaster directory and type (on Windows use a '\' instead of '/') 

     java -jar lib/xmlBlaster.jar

Congratulations, now the server is running and ready!
Type a 'g' if you want the GUI to pop up.
Use -help if you want usage infos. 

     java -jar lib/xmlBlaster.jar -help

Now start a client:
Change to the installed xmlBlaster directory and type (on Windows use a '\' instead of '/') 

     java -classpath lib/xmlBlaster.jar HelloWorld4

You should see some output on your terminal telling that a message is published and subscribed.
