This is the Java library for Spread along with some sample programs.

To compile the library run:

javac splib_src/*.java -d ./ from this directory. That should create a 'spread'
subdirectory with all the .class files. (on Windows the '/' in the above
command need to be '\' ).

If you have the Ant build system <http://ant.apache.org/> installed, 
alternately you can run:

ant

Or, to produce a JAR file:

ant jar

To compile the applications run:

javac User.java 

and

javac Flooder.java

or

ant sample-apps

Documentation exists in the docs direcory. the java.html page gives 
an introduction to the Spread Java interface and the rest of the files
are generated by javadoc.

To rebuild it run:
mkdir testdocs
javadoc -sourcepath splib_src/ -verbose -windowtitle 'Spread for Java' \
  -nodeprecated -d testdocs splib_src/*.java

or

ant javadocs

To run the User and Flooder programs you need to have a Spread daemon
running (see main package for how to build and run one). Then you can do

java User -s machine_name_running_spread_daemon -p port_of_daemon 

or 

java User -s machine_name_running_spread_daemon -p port_of_daemon 


If you want to run multiple copies of the application add the -u username 
parameter to the commandline giving each instance of the application a
new username.
