README

        
## Welcome to Foxtrot, the easy API for the Java Swing Classes.

### Introduction

Foxtrot is bundled in a compressed file, that contains

javadoc documentation, libraries, examples and source code.

The structure of the compressed file is as follows:

```

apidocs/ contains the Foxtrot javadocs

lib/     contains the Foxtrot jars: the core jar and the examples jar

src/     contains the Foxtrot source code

```

The core jar is `lib/foxtrot-core-.jar` and must be included in the classpath.

It is no longer necessary, from Foxtrot version 1.2, to include the Foxtrot core jar in the boot classpath.

This way, Foxtrot is compatible with Java Web Start.

The distribution root directory contains this file and the BSD license.

### Usage

If a Swing application is contained in `myapp.jar` and uses Foxtrot,

then the command line to start it would be similar to this one (in Windows):

```

java -cp foxtrot-core-3.0.jar;myapp.jar my.app.Main

```

### Examples

To run the examples included in the distribution, use the following

command line (from the distribution root directory):

```

java -cp lib\foxtrot-core-3.0.jar;lib\foxtrot-examples-3.0.jar foxtrot.examples.SimpleExample

java -cp lib\foxtrot-core-3.0.jar;lib\foxtrot-examples-3.0.jar foxtrot.examples.InterruptExample

```

### Tests

From Foxtrot version 2.0, tests are based on JUnit 3.8.1.

### More Information
