Hello World, Hello Eclipse, Hello Tomcat, Hello Ant!

[Mark Wielaard <ma...@klomp.org>]

Hi all,

For those that are wondering about the status of the current efforts and
people wanting to get there feet wet trying some stuff out to get a
clear picture what works and what doesn't (yet) work here are some
pointers.

Sven de Marothy created a Super-Quick start guide to get to Hello World
in 8 easy steps that should not take more then 10 minutes to try out.

Robert Schuster made a guide to get Eclipse and Ant easily working on
free systems. Most time needed will be spend in downloading eclipse.
Since Eclipse also includes Tomcat and Lucene for its help system it
also nicely shows that those things also already work nicely using GNU
Classpath, jamvm (or optionally gcj).

Happy Hacking,
