The full source code package is located in the "source" directory. It contains one shared "Kernel" dictionary and four implementation dictionaries, i.e., "Continous", "Binary", "Integer", and "Permutation" (corresponding to the implementation for problems in different representations).

In general, only the "Kernel" part together with any one of the "implementation" parts can be successfully compiled. As related to the jar files in the Compiled Package, there are: 1)"Kernel"+"Continous" → MAOS_CON.jar; 2) "Kernel"+"Binary" → MAOS_BIN.jar; 3)"Kernel"+"Integer" → MAOS_INT.jar; and 4)"Kernel"+"Permutation" → MAOS_SEQ.jar. An individual project can be achieved by copying the files in the "Kernel" part and an "implementation" part into one dictionary (the topmost directories, e.g., "Kernel", are not included).

However, the source code can be easier built in the following cases:
(1) Enter the root directory of MAOS ($ROOTPATH, which contains the file "build.xml"), then type "ant" in the command line, if you have installed Apache Ant.
(2) A project can be realized by linking both of the used parts to JAVA Build Path, if you have installed Eclipse.
