This jar file should be found in your copy of HPS Java once you have built it locallyFor instance, after building the HPS Java project locally on a recent check of trunk, my distribution jar can be found here.

cd hps-java-trunk; ls distribution/target/hps-distribution-3.6-SNAPSHOT-bin.jar

In the commands below, the version, here "3.6-SNAPSHOT", is generally left out for brevity.  When executing commands you need to point to an actual distribution jar that you have built or downloaded.

The jar file contains all of the project's dependencies in a distribution that can be run standalone using the java command.
