    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
        // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

        Xmp xmp = new Xmp();

        // The first step is to create a new XMP document, which is nothing
        // more than XML.  The NewXmp method returns an XML document with
        // the standard XMP boilerplate.
        Xml xml = xmp.newXmp();

        // Add some properties...
        xmp.addSimpleStr(xml, "Iptc4xmpCore:Chilkat", "Blah blah");
        // If you wish to view the XML, save it to a file and review it
        // with a text editor:
        try {
            xml.saveXml("newXmp.xml");

            // To add the XMP to the JPG (or TIFF), simply load the JPG,
            // append the XMP, and save:
            xmp.loadAppFile("scream.jpg");

            xmp.append(xml);
