1) Introduction / Purpose

   Cassandra is a modular and advanced 3D scientific data viewer.
   Cassandra is written in Java and based on the Visualisation Tool Kit, 
   VTK. 

   The Cassandra pipeline manager is an implementation of the Cassandra 
   PipelineManager that take care of the VTK object management.

2) Build

   To build Cassandra Pipeline Manager to your computer you will have 
   to download the thirdpart libraries and update a configuration file 
   where you will have to specify the path of those library.

   See the "THIRDPART.txt" for more details. (Could be in the provided thirdpart 
   directory)

   The configuration file to update is "config.properties" that you must 
   create from the "config.sample" file which is the base of the properties
   needed for the compilation and the packaging process.

   Then use ANT in order to generate the engine components.

   => Ant task available:
       - clean   : remove all builded documents. (class, jar, javadoc)
       - jar     : generate the jar file for the Cassandra framework
                   and place it in the binary-package directory
       - make    : execute jar, copy text file and remove the build directory
