· An AJAX front end that renders the xml file

· Java 1.3 or higher
· Set ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME environment variables.
· Put junit.jar in ANT_HOME/lib
· Ant location in path
Installation:

· Run "ant" from the project root directory. This should build a dist/brockman.jar.
· Open brockman-config/buildstatus.html in a browser.
· Open a terminal on top of the browser (so you can see your results) and run the reportbuild.sh or reportbuild.bat script.
· You should be watching Brockman build monitoring it's own build process.
