Use SQL, Speech, Swing or other third party Java libraries.

The examples show the use of the MINERVA tools minervax and metagen to integrate libraries into MINERVA as built-in predicates that correspond one to one to their Java counterparts.

For your own extensions follow these steps:

1. Write a text file with the names of the classes to be added to MINERVA
2. Use metagen to produce the resulting source file *.min
3. Use minervac to produce the resulting object *.mbc and *.mpk

This produces one MINERVA predicate for each method and field of each class. These predicates are named mechanically so that you can use existing documentation.

The last step is to:

1. use MINERVA to work at the level of abstraction of your application

'guibuilder' may serve as example for this.
