nailgun
-------
Nailgun is a client, protocol, and server for running Java programs from
the command line without incurring the JVM startup overhead.
Programs run in the server (which is implemented in Java), and are
triggered by the client (written in C), which handles all I/O.
The server and examples are built using maven. From the project directory,
"mvn clean install" will do it.
The client is built using make. From the project directory,
"make && sudo make install" will do it. To create the windows client
you will additionally need to "make ng.exe".
For more information, see [the nailgun website](http://martiansoftware.com/nailgun/).
Buck currently uses a fork of nailgun hosted at https://github.com/jimpurbrick/nailgun.
This fork adds support for interrupting server processing when client disconnection is
detected, changes which are currently being accepted in to the main nailgun repository.
