 | Using Thrift with Java | 
 | ====================== | 
 |  | 
 | The Thrift Java source is not build using the GNU tools, but rather uses | 
 | the Apache Ant build system, which tends to be predominant amongst Java | 
 | developers. | 
 |  | 
 | To compile the Java Thrift libraries, simply do the following: | 
 |  | 
 | ant | 
 |  | 
 | Yep, that's easy. Look for libthrift.jar in the base directory. | 
 |  | 
 | To include Thrift in your applications simply add libthrift.jar to your | 
 | classpath, or install if in your default system classpath of choice. |
