Build the Examples

1. Install the latest version of Java 8 (JDK8). (Use 32-bit version on Windows).

2. Install Apache Ant. Follow the instructions here.

3. Add the path to the directory where you unpacked the examples to your CLASSPATH.

4. Start a command prompt in the directory where you installed the examples. If your installation is successful, you should be able to type ant build and build everything. ant run will build AND run the examples. You may initially get some error messages telling you to install additional packages, but eventually you should get through the whole build process successfully.
