Here's how to get up and running with the example project...

1.  Copy the example-build.properties file to build.properties and customize it to your environment.  Note,
    if you're using a database other than MySQL, you must modify the build.xml file so that the driver is
    downloaded for you from Ibiblio or just place the driver jar file in the lib directory.

2.  Run the default target (all) of the build file.  This will run the sample application after performing all
    of the necessary build steps.
