seda.sandStorm.main
Class Sandstorm

java.lang.Object
  seda.sandStorm.main.Sandstorm

public class Sandstorm
extends java.lang.Object

This is the top-level class which acts as the "wrapper" and external interface to the Sandstorm runtime. By creating a Sandstorm object one can embed a Sandstorm system in another application. If you wish to run a standalone Sandstorm, this can be done from the commandline using the seda.sandStorm.main.Main class.

In general it is a good idea to have just one Sandstorm instance per JVM; multiple instances may interfere with one another in terms of resource allocation and thread scheduling.
