## C.2 Package Dependencies

STIL is currently available in several forms; you may have the `stil.jar` file which contains most of the important classes, or a full starjava installation, or a standalone TOPCAT jar file, or the `stil_jars.zip` file containing various packages in separate jar files, or in some other form. None of these is definitive; different packages are required for different usages. If you are keen to prepare a small class library you can identify functionality you are not going to need and prepare a class library omitting those classes. In most cases, STIL classes will cope with absence of such packages without falling over.

The following is a list of what packages are required for what functions:
