#Here you can create AMI with Amazon console.
#Now you can test your installation, create Foo.java:
public class Foo{

        public static void main (String[] args){

        System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis() + "");

        System.out.println("Here we do smt");

        System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis() + "");
        }

}

#Compile it:
javac Foo.java
#Create dex:
dx --dex --output=foo.jar Foo.class
#And run:
rund -cp foo.jar Foo
