tXML is just a JAR file, named org.txml.jar. If you downloaded a source tree from tarball or CVS, type make to build it (Makefile expects you to have Java version 1.3 or higher).
Once the JAR file is ready, copy it to your favorite location (example: /usr/local/jar/), and modify you Java environment to include org.txml.jar into CLASSPATH (see JDK documentation for more detail on CLASSPATH).
Test the installation: Create a test Java file with the name Test.java, containing the following code:
import org.txml.XMLNode; public class Test { public static void main(String [] av) { XMLNode node = new XMLNode("hello", "world"); System.out.println(node.toString("")); } }
Try to compile it. If it compiles OK, your environment is ready for using tXML!
