In order to compile and run Jriver you need to have
Apache Ant.  See http://ant.apache.org for information
on how to download and install this.  For those of you
who have Eclipse, just import and compile it.

To start the game from the command prompt:
Go to top level directory (this is the directory with build.xml in it)
type: ant startmud

You should see something similar to this:
alpha@roia:~/java/jriver$ ant startmud
Buildfile: build.xml

init:

compile:
    [javac] Compiling 25 source files to /home/alpha/java/jriver/build

startmud:
     [java] Jriver [Jriver] v0.1
     [java] Now accepting connections on port 9333
     [java] Object [org.jriver.core.MudObject#27189676] created
     [java] HeartBeat Singleton Initialized.


This means your game is up and running.  Try using telnet (in raw mode) or
a MUD client, connect to localhost port 9333.

The file config.properties has some options that you can set like MUD
name and port number so edit that file to meet your needs.

Enjoy!
