  JBrowse -- the source browser for Java programmers.


  Some features:
  --------------
o JBrowse scans java source  and user home directories on 
  startup to locate Java classes.
o Package Tree pane presents a tree view of all Java packages 
  and classes.
o Double-click on a class name to browse that class.
o Class Tree pane shows inheritance information; double click 
  in this pane to edit class details.
o Field list pane  shows the class's  methods and variables - 
  click on a field name to see its definition.
o Edit pane provides  syntax highlighting,  allows editing of
   source.
o Select 'Action:  compile changes' on  the menu to recompile 
  the class.
o Errors are  displayed in  the status pane;  double-click to 
  jump to the source.
o JBrowse is  written entirely in  Java, and is therefore 
  nicely portable.
o Oh, it supports the version 1.1 new language features, too.
o And finally, the price is reasonable at $50.00.



  Installation directions:
  ------------------------
You need a Java VM installed on your machine to run JBrowse.  
JBrowse has been tested with versions 1.0.2 and 1.1 of the 
Sun distribution.  Others should work, but haven't been tried. 
Feedback is appreciated.

You can download Sun's JDK for most platforms at: 
  http://www.javasoft.com

If you'll want to be able to browse the Java libraries
(recommended), you should make sure the Java source is 
located in a subdirectory 'src' under the java directory. 
This should have come with the JDK in a file called 'src.zip'.

Now, make a directory under your java directory called 
'classes' and add it to your CLASSPATH environment setting.  
Then unzip the compressed file into that directory, being
sure to maintain the directory structure.

Then simply type:
'java JBrowse' to invoke JBrowse.
