 1. Set ‘AKKA_HOME’ environment variable to the root of the Akka distribution.
 2. Open up a shell and step into the Akka distribution root folder.

 5. Now start up a new shell and go down into the ‘./akka-samples/akka-sample-chat’ directory.
 6. Invoke ‘mvn scala:console -o’. This will give you a Scala REPL (interpreter) with the chat application and all its dependency JARs on the classpath.

 Now you could test client reconnect by killing the running microkernel and start it up again. See the client reconnect take place in the REPL shell.
