In the repositiory is a simple project specifically for previewing each of the components in action. It lives in the root of the repository under component-demos. Using the maven jetty plugin you can easily get a quick preview of the components in action. Follow these steps (it is assumed that you already have Java 1.5, subversion, and maven 2 installed):

1. Checkout the source and install the component artifact (see InstallingTheMavenArtifact).
2. Run the demo app: cd ../component-demos; mvn jetty:run
3. Open a browser window/tab to http://localhost:8080/GodcodeDemos/.
