Summary: More tips

Initial Comment:
It would be nice to have a couple more sections in the
"tips & tricks" on:

(1) Setting up Oxygen to run XTF. Include specifying
xtf.jar so that extension functions like
fileutils:exists work right. Also, setting up transform
scenario, running debugger, switching from debug to
edit mode and back. Also, where to get input files for
later stages (e.g. XTF-marked dynaXML input,
resultFormatter input, etc.)

(2) Setting up Eclipse to run XTF (for playing with the
guts of the Java code). There are two ways I know of.
First, is how CDL work is done internally, running
Tomcat as a servlet container. The other way is
described by Peter Murray here:

http://drc-dev.ohiolink.edu/wiki/EclipseXTFHowTo

We should include his way as well, if he grants permission.

Likewise, we should have a section on how to build XTF from
the source. This involves: (1) unzipping the source; (2)
installing ant; (3) running ant (either just to compile, or
to build a jar.)
