OpenORB Read Me
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This file contains a quick intallation guide.

It is strongly advised to read the OpenORB programmers's guide for
information on installation and configuration. This document is
available in the doc directory.


To quickly start using OpenORB, perform the following steps:

- Copy the 'ORB.properties' file from the config directory to your 
  to the lib directory in java.home.
- Add to your classpath the OpenORB Jar files.

The java.home directory is the root directory of your jdk/jre
installation, you would find the java executable in the bin
subdirectory. To determine the directory to place orb.properties
compile and execute the following program.

public class ShowMe
{
  public static void main( String [] args ) {
    System.out.println("You have to put your 'ORB.properties' in : ");
    System.out.println( System.getProperty("java.home") 
                      + java.io.File.separator + "lib" );
  }
}


Many other configuration options are available. To modify the OpenORB
configuration, copy the OpenORB.xml file from the config directory
into one of the 'well known' locations, as documented in the
programmer's guide, and modify properties as you choose.
