License.txt is the LGPL software license that covers this gws package. Third party jars in lib need to be on the class path in order to use some of the libraries methods. The examples directory contains executable classes that have been configured to use some of the libraries methods. These offer a useful start point for new users although some modification of the code is necessary to do anything useful.
