    • example input and output for GUI (in examples folder)
    • API documentation in the api folder
    • a GUI.bat file for running the GUI
    • XML4J installation.
  2. Download XML Parser for Java, and copy the JAR files xercesImpl.jar and xmlParserAPIs.jar into the XML4J directory of xviews. This action is required in order for GUI.bat to work in its current form. Otherwise, edit the file GUI.bat to point to the XML4J JAR files.
