Files and Directories

print version

Currently there are three different types of files how you can obtain Jacson:

jacson-release-???.zip

Complete Jacson to run immediately without translation without obtaining other jars.

jacson-devzip-???.zip

Much smaller file, but complete if you want to build Jacson yourself and obtain the external jars elsewhere.

Depending on the version of the zip file you downloaded you will have some or all of the below files:

jacson.jar

The Jacson classes bundled. Allows invocation of java -jar jacson.jar

jacsontail.jar

Convenience bundle to allow java -jar jacsontail.jar

lib/

jacsongeneric.jar

Convenience bundle to allow java -jar jacsongeneric.jar

lib/

A directory with jar files required to run Jacson (saxon.jar is not necessary with JDK1.4).
Note: When you want to use xsl:fo or SVG you need to obtain fop.jar, batik.jar and avalon-framework.jar. These files are not included for their size. (They triple the size of Jacson).

docs/

The directory with (this) documentation and code javadoc in html format.

samples/

Sample configuration files, with driver batch files, xsl files for nice output, a sample data file.

src/

The sourcecode for Jacson, together with documentation source.
