| 2 | This is version 2.5.0 of the JX source distribution. To build it, simply |
|---|
| 3 | run gnu make ("make" or "gmake" on most systems) in a command line window |
|---|
| 4 | in the JX-2.5.0 directory and follow the instructions that are printed. |

| 6 | If you are new to the JX Application Framework, then it is important to |
|---|
| 7 | understand that it is not a program that you can run. Rather, it is a set |
|---|
| 8 | of classes that provide a foundation on which you can build a program with |
|---|
| 9 | a graphical interface. If you are familiar with either MicroSoft Visual |
|---|
| 10 | Studio or MetroWerks CodeWarrior, then the equivalent components are as |

| 66 | The code has been thoroughly tested on Linux and Solaris. Bizzare behavior |
|---|
| 67 | and crashes may be the result of broken system libraries. We am willing to |
|---|
| 68 | work with you to solve such problems, so please don't hesitate to contact |
|---|
| 69 | us, but since we don't have access to your system, the burden of proof must |
|---|
| 70 | rest on you if a system call that works fine on all other systems doesn't |
|---|
| 71 | work for you. |

|---|
| 73 | To help reduce our email load, please always check the JX web site before |
|---|
| 74 | sending us a bug report because we might already know about it and have |
|---|
| 75 | posted a fix. Suggestions are always welcome because they help us decide |
|---|
| 76 | what is most important, so we know what to implement next, but please check |
|---|
| 77 | the Bazaar Projects page first to check if somebody else is already working |
|---|
| 78 | on it. |

| 83 | |
|---|
| 84 | It is also important to realize that we do not maintain ACE. You are |
|---|
| 85 | welcome to contact us if you have problems compiling it, but the ACE |
|---|
| 86 | developers are more likely to be able to help, and patches should be sent |
|---|
| 87 | to them, not to us. JX uses ACE because networking is horribly |
|---|
| 88 | UNIX-variant-dependent, and the ACE developers are much better at dealing |
|---|
| 89 | with this than we are. The ACE web page is: |
