[Plplot-devel] java install changes

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

I received no response on the java source install question so I made some
executive decisions: the class files will be retained for
...lib/java/plplot/core. My understanding is these binary files are analogous
to a library in the sense they are required to run any application that uses
the java front end to plplot.  Thus, like a library I install only the
binary *.class files and not the source *.java files.

The situation is different for all the other examples where we install the
source but no binaries.  To follow this idea for the java examples, the
*.java files (but not the *.class files) are now installed in
.../lib/java/plplot/examples.  Furthermore, the new README I created (see
plplot/examples/java/README) that explains how to build the java examples
either from the tmp location or the install location is also installed in
.../lib/java/plplot/examples.

Joao, I wrote those instructions at your suggestion.  By all means please
give the instructions a try, and let me know if they need any additions.

Alan
