Example 2. Example java code to start MMBase

	try {
		 //MMBaseContext.init("HERE YOUR CONFIG_DIR",true); // no need for -Dmmbase.config then.
		 MMBaseContext.init();
		 MMBase mmb = (MMBase) MMBase.getMMBase();

		 // now you have the "MMBase" object
		 // All data can be accessed now.

		 // with the core:
		 MMObjectBuilder images = mmb.getBuilder("episode");
		 MMObjectNode node=images.getNewNode("admin");
		 node.setValue("title",(Object) "TEST");
		 node.insert("admin");

		 // or nicer, with the bridge:
		 Cloud cloud = LocalContext.getCloudContext().getCloud("mmbase"));
		 NodeManager images = cloud.getNodeManager("episode");
		 Node node = images.createNode();
		 node.setField("title", "TEST");
		 node.commit();

	 } catch (Exception e) {
		 System.out.println("Something went wrong" + e.toString());
	 }
