Compilation of sources (optional step)
======================================

You will need:

* A version 1.5+ of the Sun Java Virtual Machine (non official versions of Java (like gcj) are not suitable . The 1.6 version of Java is not supported at now).
* Apache Ant (http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/)

To compile, type:

ant

in the S2S directory

This will create an "S2S" subdirectory from where you can run S2S.

Requirements
============

S2S needs:
- a version 1.5+ of the Sun Java Virtual Machine. Non official versions of Java (like gcj) are not suitable for S2S.
- an internet connection (S2S consumes several Web Services)
- a 2-buttons mouse is also highly recommended

Installation and start of S2S
=============================

- step 1: download the last version
- step 2: unzip the tar.gz file by double-clicking on it or by typing "tar -xzvf your_file.tar.gz" in a terminal
- step 3: inside the S2S directory, double-click on the s2s.jar file or type "java -jar s2s.jar" using a terminal (if you need more memory, type "java -Xmx600M -Xms600M -jar s2s.jar" to get 600M of memory for example)
- step 4: from the S2S splash screen, connect to localhost

Please note that you have to install S2S in a location where you have the rights to create new files. S2S creates several temporary files in its tmp subdirectory.

Licensing and legal issues
==========================

For legal and licensing issues, please read the LICENSE file.

Feedback
========

S2S is an on-going project. We are still working on S2S and new versions will be distributed
as soon as available.
Your feedback as users is very important to us.
