> In `src/java_cup` there are a few classes from the Java_Cup parser generator that are necessary to run the IDL compiler. These are redistributed here with permission from Scott Hudson. The source files in `java_mapping` replace some of the automatically generated classes in `org/omg` according to the rules of the Java language mapping.

> ## Installation

> For installation (and optional building) instructions please see the installation documentation and the Programming Guide available in the doc/ subdirectory and from the JacORB web pages at www.jacorb.org. For release notes see the file REL_NOTES. The build file in this directory can be used to remake and recompile all of CORBA and the CorbaServices Naming, Trading, Transaction and Events.

> After installation, please have a go at the examples in `demo/`. In `idl/omg` we provide the complete IDL text of all of COSS for you to play with.
