Building
--------

To build the Java API. Note that Java 1.8 is required to build the Java API.
> ant

To build the native part see native/BUILDING.


Running the tests
-----------------

First run "ant download" to retrieve junit. It will be placed
in the directory given by "base.path". The path can be changed
by adjusting "base.path" in the file build.properties.default
or overwrite it in a new file build.properties.

Now run "ant test".


Running the examples
--------------------

Before running the examples you may have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, something like
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/SMAWoIS/openssl/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

1) echo example:
   - Choose some free port in
     dist/classes/examples/org/apache/tomcat/jni/Echo.properties
   - run: ant run-echo

2) ssl server example:
   - Change parameters in dist/classes/examples/org/apache/tomcat/jni/SSL.properties
     according to your needs. The certificate and key should be in
     dist/classes/examples.
   - run: ant run-ssl-server
