Using a Proxy
-------------

Often times your client machine cannot directly connect to the MongoDB hosts.
One easy trick is to use a ``SOCKS`` proxy based on SSH tunnel to connect transparently::

> ssh -D 9000 -i key.pem hostThatCanConnectToDB -N

Then make sure you select a ``SOCKS`` proxy of "localhost:9000" in the connection settings.

---------------

To compile:

- go to the base directory and run::

> ant jar

To package the application:

- go to the ``package`` folder and run::

To set the version:

- change the version number in ``manifest.mf`` prior to compile / package
