Each platform which Ibex is ported to should have a subclass of {@link org.ibex.Platform} in this package as well as an ant buildfile.

The subclass of {@link org.ibex.Platform} should be named plat.java, where plat is the descriptive name for the platform. The ant buildfile should be named plat.xml, and should contain three targets:

• build: compiles all code required for the Ibex Engine and creates an executable in ibex/www/html/dist/. If applicable, all debugging symbols should be left in this executable.
• run: runs the executable, loading the org.ibex.demo.main widget demo. This is useful for testing.
• dist: prepares any files required to distribute the engine (for example, a jar or cab). This step should remove debugging symbols, if applicable.

Other platform-specific files can be included in this directory, as long as they share the same filename as the main class, and differ only in extension (for example, plat.cc).

Classes in this package may subclass each other; this is useful when two classes are very similar -- they can share a superclass containing the common functionality.
