5.1.1. System requirements
+The Plug-in requires Ant 1.3 or higher. It has been tested with 1.3 and 1.5 versions of Ant.
+Please feel free to notify of other success stories.
+See Section 1.1, “System requirements” for the basic requirements to
+run Jalopy.
+
+To obtain more information about this wonderful build tool, visit the official
+Ant home page at the Apache Jakarta site:
+http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/
+
+The Plug-in comes either as a single .zip or compressed
+.tar archive. Unzipping either one of these files into a directory
+of your choice (referred to as <INST_DIR>)
+will produce three subdirectories /bin, /docs
+and /lib.
+
+
+..
+ bin/ contains wrapper scripts for different platforms
+ docs/ contains the documentation
+ lib/ contains all necessary libraries
+ |
+
+Before you can use the Jalopy Ant task in your build scripts, you have to add
+it to your system. Maybe the simplest way is to utilize the
+<taskdef> element in your build script as follows:
+
+<taskdef name="jalopy"
+ classname="de.hunsicker.jalopy.plugin.ant.AntPlugin">
+ <classpath>
+ <fileset dir="<INST_DIR>/lib">
+ <include name="*.jar" />
+ </fileset>
+ </classpath>
+</taskdef>
+ |
+If you rather want to add the provided libraries to your classpath (either by
+copying the libraries into the /lib folder of your Ant
+installation or setting up the classpath as usual), please be aware that the
+provided parser (aelfred-xxx.jar)
+is incompatible with Ant 1.4.1 or prior releases. If you happen to use one of
+these outdated versions, the parser library must not be copied into the
+/lib folder (or added to the classpath) otherwise Ant will fail to work!
