Web-y folk?

As Jason's email pointed out, the documentation is coming. There is
some there, just apparently very well hidden. The best candidate
(though it's URL may change) is:

  https://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/omero/wiki/OmeroClients

The only jar you need is omero_client.jar. The latest build is always
available at:

  http://hudson.openmicroscopy.org.uk/job/OMERO/lastStableBuild/

or if you would like to build it yourself:

  ant

and it will be created under:

  dist/client/omero_client.jar

(though this may be simplified for the release). If you don't feel
like the wiki has enough to get you started, drop us another line and
we'll do what we can.
