Adriana,

The first thing to keep in mind is that IGLU is a set
of tools, not an application.  It implements basic
building blocks of information retrieval programs, but
is not a program itself.  To use IGLU, you'll have to
write software tying the pieces together to make them
do what you want.

The basic idea is to get the compiled jar file and put
it in your class path.  Then create instances of
various Document types from whatever source data you
have.  Then create the StopList instance and apply the
filter to all your documents.  You can then feed them
into the VectorCreator classes to get your TFIDF
values.

The place to start is to read the javadoc for the
iglu.ir package.  Focus on the Document,
VectorCreator, and DocumentFilter interfaces and their
descendants.  If you can see how each of these class
types works, then you can use the package.

Just drop me a note if you need more help.
