Samples in the eBay SDK for Java

Each sample has a readme.htm that contains build, usage or design information about the sample.
Each sample has an ANT project file (build.xml) that is used to build the sample source code. You can execute "ant compile" (in each sample folder) to build each sample. Make sure that first you update your SDK (see the readme.htm file in the eBay SDK for Java install directory). Additionally, confirm that you have set the environment variable JAVA_HOME correctly because it is needed by ANT. It is recommended to set and run setenv.bat in the build folder of SDK to set environment variables first.
A sample can be launched using the ANT project file build.xml. Typically you can run "ant" or "ant run"to launch a console or swing application.
