Hi,

Documentation is shmthing that I have spent little time on, I really should=
 improve the tutorial. However, with time constraints it is difficult. Espe=
cially since everything is second nature to me, its hard to be objective an=
d write from the perspective of a user. If you have any ideas or material y=
ou would like to contribute I will make sure to include them.

You can do this by extending the MapperEngine and providing the name of the=
 JAR archive as the file classpath. This should be fairly easy to do. Have =
a look at MapperEngine(Context,File) or perhaps LoaderEngine(Context, URL[]=
) if you wish to bypass mapping altogether.
