This is the README file for version 1.2 of Helma Object Publisher.
==============
ABOUT ANTCLICK
==============
Antclick is an integrated Helma/Antville package. It comes with
integrated web server and SQL database. It should run out of the
box although you may have to modify the start script.
This version of Antclick contains Mckoi as the embedded database
and Jetty as the embedded web server.
Although Antcklick comes preconfigured with the Mckoi database, it
can easily be set up to run with other databases such as MySQL and
Oracle. It is also possible to configure it to use a fully featured
web server instead of the built-in web server.
======================
INSTALLING AND RUNNING
======================
Simply uncompress the content of the archive file into any place on
your hard disk. Start Helma on Windows by opening the file hop.bat.
On Unix systems open a terminal window, change to the Antclick
directory and type ./hop.sh.
If you manage to get it running you should be able to connect your
browser to http://127.0.0.1:8080/ (port 8080, that is). Now you can
set up and configure your antville site.
==============
ABOUT ANTVILLE
==============
Antville is an open source project aimed to the development of an
"easy to maintain and use" weblog-hosting system. It is not limited
to just one weblog, it can easily host up to several hundred or
thousand weblogs (the number of weblogs is more limited by the site
owner's choice and server power than software limitations).
Antville is entirely written in JavaScript and based on the Helma
Object Publisher, a powerful and fast scriptable open source web
application server (which itself is written in Java). Antville works
with a relational database in the backend.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
===================
Windows: 1) On Windows Helma won't run with Microsoft's version of
Java (jview). You can get a compatible Java runtime from Sun or IBM:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/jre/download-windows.html
http://www.ibm.com/java/jdk/download/ 2) In the Windows start script
I've hardcoded c:\java\lib\classes.zip in the CLASSPATH argument. Not
good.
Macintosh: 1) If you are using the Mac version you should own a G3 CPU
and/or have MRJ 2.2 (http://www.apple.com/java) installed. Other
platforms have less frustration potential. The Mac OS version
currently is not up-to-date (version 0.1).
Linux: The recomended virtual machine for running Helma on Linux is
Blackdown's port of JDK 1.2.2 RC4
(http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/mirrors.html). JDK 1.1.7v3 will
work, but much slower and show a lot of CPU activity even when the
Helma is idle. IBM's version of JDK 1.1.8 also works well, but this
JVM has some problems of its own with thread handling.
You need Java 2 runtime version 1.3 or higher to run Helma. Helma has
been used successfully on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms.
