Hi Phil:

To get started with Demeter/Javaa take a look at:
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/research/demeter/sources/DemeterJava/platforms/unix/insta
llation-guide

or 
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/research/demeter/sources/DemeterJava/platforms
and select the subdirectory of your platform.

Demeter/Java is very light-weight: The Demeter/Java run-time
library consists only of two classes: Ident and Text.

At compile-time, you need a Java compiler and libraries
and the Java compiler compiler from SUN.

Demeter/Java is written in Java and you no longer need Demeter/C++
or CUP.

For examples, see:
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/research/demeter/sources/DemeterJava/examples

Demeter Java/0.4.4 is now available (pre-alpha). This is not yet the
time to develop commercial products with Demeter/Java but it
is an excellent tool to learn the design style of traversal-visitor
programming. You can use this style in regular Java programs
but your designs will become more flexible.

If you want to get 0.4.4, please send me mail. Over 60 students
have used Demeter/Java.

Karl,

Good to hear from you!

I'm trying to order your book by phone.  Your publisher has an office in
Germany, but the line has been busy.

Thanks for your offer to help.  I looked at your web pages on Demeter/Java,
but I'm still not sure what I need to get started.  Do I still need
Demeter/C++ and CUP?  Would I be able to get anywhere with Demeter/Java
0.4.3?

Phil.
