<h1>Advantages of JavaX</h1>

<h2> JavaX is supremely easy to run.</h2>

<p>All you need is Java (version 6 or higher) and <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/java-x/files/x12.jar/download">one jar file</a>. (<a href="http://tinybrain.de/2000360">source</a>)</p>

<h2> Programs don't need to be installed.</h2>

<p>You reference them by ID and they are downloaded automatically from the <a href="http://snippets.tinybrain.de">central repository</a>.</p>

<p>Example: <b>java -jar x12.jar <a href="http://tinybrain.de/610">610</a></b> (will print 'hello')</p>

<h2> Every Java program is a JavaX program. </h2>

<p>You can also run any local Java code. Just say <b>java x9 <i>sourcefolder</i></b>. You only have to make sure there is a "main" class in there.</p>

<h2> JavaX adapts to any syntax.</h2>

<p>Really, anything. All you need is a "translator" (and we love to build those!).</p>

<p>Just put the translator ID at the start of your program. <a href="http://tinybrain.de/593">Example here.</a></p>

<h2> List of available translators growing every day!</h2>

<p>Examples:</p>

<ul>
  <li><a href="http://tinybrain.de/609">#609</a> - adds 'main' class declaration and main method</li>
  <li><a href="http://tinybrain.de/592">#592</a> - adds imports automatically (the ones I need anyways - you can adapt this to your needs in like 1 minute)</li>
  <li><a href="http://tinybrain.de/1000265">#1000265</a> - adds some standard functions that I need if they are referenced, but not declared (you can of course adapt this too)</li>
</ul>

<p>Sometimes translators take little input and produce whole programs.</p>

<p>Example: <a href="http://tinybrain.de/598">#598</a> makes a whole webserver. Your program can even be empty apart from the reference to the translator. "!598" is a valid JavaX program that starts a webserver on port 8080.</p>
