+LAUNCHING THE ALIGNMENT SERVER WITH OYSTER REGISTERY

+The alignment API is already compiled with Oyster support. However, it is not ready to be launched. The instructions to do so are:
+
+1) get the Oyster2 package from www.ontoware.org
+2) copy the four libraries in lib/ (or at least in the classpath)
+3) copy the O2serverfiles directory
+4) copy the "new store" config file
+5) edit the "new store" config file for it to use the correct environent
+6) launch kaon2.jar
+
+java -cp lib/kaon2.jar org.semanticweb.kaon2.server.ServerMain -registry -rmi -ontologies O2serverfiles
+
+[use -registryport for using another port than 1099,
+ then the "new store" configuration file must be edited]
+
+7) launch the server
