src

The directory to which the reference implementation Java class is written when you compile using Ant. Also contains the source code for the sample MBoxAdapter content adapter.

lib

A directory that contains adapter.jar.

reference

A directory that contains sample content adapter code, as well as the compiled version.

build.xml

This Ant build file, along with the directory structure, makes it possible for you to compile and JAR the reference implementation’s example content adapter or Java manipulator from the command line in the installation directory.

You can copy this file and the associated directory structure to another location to use as a template when you build your own Java manipulator or content adapter. However, for the sake of stability, we recommend that you do not develop your own Java manipulators or content adapters within the Endeca directory structure.
