Additional Installation Notes:
==============================
A Java Runtime Environment is required. If you are using Total Commander x64, you need to use a 64-bit JRE.
Installing additional libraries as stated in original README.TXT file is NO LONGER REQUIRED.

What this plugin does:
======================
This plugin shows a Demo graphical user interface based on Swing, contained in every Java Installation (http://java.sun.com).
It is used to demonstrate the possibilities you have for your own custom Java Plugin.
This implementation is based on the SwingSet2 Demo (http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/demos.html)

How to use this plugin:
=======================
Simply open the file "demo.swing" in the lister window (F3) or in quick view (Ctrl+Q) to show up the demo.
You can interact with the GUI elements to test the functionality and to learn about Swing components.
To quit the demo simply press Escape and close the window (Ctrl+Q again in quick view or closing the external window)

64-bit version:
=================
The original Java Plugin is Copyright (C) 2006-2007 Ken Handel. 
He also provided a lot of java plugin examples for any kind: lister, packer, file system and content: http://java.totalcmd.net/V1.7/examples.html
This is one of those examples.

However the developer abandoned the project in 2007 (now is 2021), and he has been unreachable since then (some people tried to reach him long ago).
64-bit versions of this plugin were no available, because as said the project was abandoned in 2007 and 64-bit tcmd came around 2011.
That makes it unusable for most people, nowadays using 64-bit TC.

As the license allows so, we have undertaken the project;
special thanks to Ghisler (author of TC) for recompiling the dll.
you can see the thread discussing it in the TC forum at: https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=75726

Now, every java plugin:
  1. Works as an independent 64-bit plugin in TC64. Still works in TC32.
  2. May be installed as usual, just entering the zip, without further ado.

Changes for 64-bit version (from 32-bit original java plugin by Ken Handel):
============================================================================
- included the new (wcx64 / wfx64 / wlx64 / wdx64) dll, recompiled by Ghisler (author of Total Commander), from Handel sources
- included the javalib dirs: Now every Java plugin installs just entering the zip, without further ado
- modified tc_javaplugin.ini accordingly (to refer the new location of javalib)
- included this text file with some extra info for the 64-version
- repackaged as .zip (.tgz needs first to be untgzed to tar, also not so standard)
