One of Juce's features is that it can be linked into your project as a monolithic C++ file, instead of a statically linked
library. This means that you can write a juce application without actually needing to build the
library beforehand, but instead by just adding juce_amalgamated.cpp to the project, and including
juce_amalagamated.h instead of juce.h. The demo apps are designed using this approach, because it means

+Using the new Jucer
+NOTE! By far the easiest way to create a new cross-platform Juce app (or audio plugin) is to use the new and
+not-yet-finished Jucer to generate all the project files for you... This replacement for the old Jucer is still work-in-progress and
+at the "experimental" stage, but it has enough project management features to already be extemely useful. To use it, you'll need to build
+and run it - that's pretty easy to do: just open an appropriate project from the juce/extras/Jucer (experimental)/Builds folder,
+and compile/run it. The new Jucer has a wizard that will create a new Juce project for you, sorting out all the messy paths and project set-up,
+and will spit out a collection of project files for the various IDEs that you can simply open and build.
+When complete, the new Jucer will be a big part of future Juce versions, and is already used to auto-generate the makefiles and project
+files for all the projects in the juce/extras folder.

+However, if you want to create a Juce project manually (i.e. the hard way), here are some instructions:
