|  | 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. |
