Java libraries
Java libraries provide a set of APIs that allow your application to use
a hardware device or implement a new protocol or algorithm.
Lightfoot Java libraries contain a number of distinct entities:
- Class files. These are used by the Java compiler and Lightfoot
class converter.
- Jar file. This is used by eclipse and ANT.
- Library file. This is used by the Lightfoot linker and contains
all the pre-converted code and data from the class files.
- API make include file. This is used by make utility to link in
the correct system libraries and to add in additional classes.
- XML properties file. This is used by the configuration file to
provide properties for the library.
