+###Running the Example Code###
 
 To run the example code, open the **PersistenceEngine** class file in the project. You'll notice that it has a **main( ... )** method. That is the method to run for the example. Simply click on Eclipse's debug or run icon, or right click on the **PersistenceEngine** in the **Project Explorer** window, and select "Run As --> Java Application" or "Debug As --> Java Application" from the popup menu.

+The example code does the following:
+
+* Creates a **Division** class that could represent the division in a company, and then adds a few people (**Person**). It also adds some friends to one of the people, sets a birth date, and adds a few additional things to make a complex object structure. 
+* Creates and uses the **PersistenceEngine** to create a semantic model of the **Division** object it just created.
+* Prints the semantic model to the console.
+* Creates an XML file ("person.xml") and a JSON file ("person.json") containing the division.
+* Creates an XML file reader uses it to create a semantic model from the "person.xml" file.
+* Reconstructs the **Division** object from the semantic model.
+* Prints the reconstructed object to the console.
+* Creates an JSON file reader uses it to create a semantic model from the "person.json" file.
+* Reconstructs the **Division** object from the semantic model.
+* Prints the reconstructed object to the console.
+
+That's it.

 To add the source code to your project, copy the downloaded source code, starting with the "org" directory into the "src" directory of your Eclipse project. Then copy the "log4j.xml" file into the top-level directory of your new project.

+**FreezeDry** comes with an *Ant* build-file named "build.xml". Pretty original, huh? In any case, place the "build.xml" file into the same directory where you placed the "log4j.xml" configuration file.
