<P align=center><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">At this point, you

create your classpath. Right click on project directory and select

Properties.</FONT></P>

<P align=center><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Remove any directories

that show up in the Source tab.</FONT></P>

<P align=center><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Then click Add

directories and select all the files within the libs directory and click

OK.</FONT></P>

will need to create the server.ini file. These are the steps needed for

that:</FONT></P>

<P align=center><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Once you have located

GenerateINI.java, double click it to open in code window.</FONT></P>

<P align=center><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Then click Run =&gt;

<P align=center><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Depending on whether

there are errors, the following might display. If you know they do not affect

the errors do affect you, then you will have to fix them. This tutorial will NOT

the password, it will ask you to specify RSA key. Take default (press enter).

Give it a couple minutes, and your server.ini is done.</FONT></P>

<P align=center><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Now we will set up map

editor to run from within Eclipse. Click the black arrow beside green bug and
