demotasks.jar. This contains various benchmarking tasks
which have appeared in newsgroups; it will grow over time. Its
purpose is to help to give samples for those developing their own
tasks, and to avoid replication of benchmarking tasks. The source
distribution of JBench comes with the source code for these tasks
(in the uk.org.skeet.jbench.tasks package), and they
are built as part of the normal build procedure.
demotasks.jar contains a manifest entry to include
JBench.jar in its classpath, so to run these samples
you need merely have both jar files in the same directory and run
java -jar demotasks.jar xxx.properties
where xxx.properties is an appropriate property file.
Each sample has a properties file in the
etc/sampleproperties directory of the distribution.
(I'll write up details of what the tasks are for at a later date :)
