The NewsML Toolkit currently contains one demo application, the NewsML Explorer. The NewsML Explorer provides a simple, interactive graphical view of a NewsML package, allowing the user to expand or collapse subtrees to see different levels of detail. The application has the following prerequisites:
The application classes are included in the main toolkit distribution; most of the implementation appears in the org.newsml.toolkit.explorer package, but the top-level application class, NewsMLExplorer, does not belong to any package.
The simplest way to use the NewsML Explorer is with the prebundled
newsml-explorer.jar
file: this includes all of the
required libraries (including an XML parser), and allows you to start
the application simply by executing the JAR file:
java -jar newsml-explorer.jar
If you are not using the prebundled JAR file, you start the application like this (after ensuring that all required libraries are installed and listed in your class path):
java NewsMLExplorer
In both cases, you can provide a URL or file name as a command-line argument, and it will be opened automatically when the application starts.
