There are also documentation files generated by javadoc command under

The documents in the archival file are almost the same as those 
of the COINS Web pages but some items may be old or missing.
Please see the Web pages
    http://www.coins-project.org/COINSdoc/
or

2.  Build/Rebuild

Expansion of archive files
    Make a root directory for COINS infrastructure (e. g. C:\Coins)
    and expand the archive file on this directory (Coins)  then
    you can get the complete source program and class files  of
    the COINS infrastructure.

Build/Rebuild with Ant

    All the files provided are precompiled. If you wish to recompile or
    modify the source code, see 'doc-en/README.build.en.txt' or
    'doc-ja/README.build.ja.txt'.

Java

    The COINS system is entirely written in Java.
    The version is jdk 1.4.
    It can be compiled by javac in jdk 1.4, cannot be by 1.3, 
    and can be by 1.5 with some harmless warnings.
