Hello Christopher.
I recently started using Jelly and I had a lot of trouble getting it
running. I haven't seen "jelly.bat", but it seems like this is a DOS script
and you are running it on a UNIX system, which is strange. Anyway, here's
what I did:
1) Building jelly.
- I ended up building everything from CVS since the snapshots were
apparently very unstable.
- maven is the preferred build system but I ended up using ant (there
are build.xml files inside of CVS)
- note that even when you build the source code yourself, the jar
filenames are ...SNAPSHOT...
- apparently the jelly-tag libraries are built separately from the
main jelly library, so you need to build in each jelly-tag/* directory
manually
2) Collect all the needed JAR files into one directory.
- If you are using the jelly:xml library, for example, you need
commons-jelly-tags-xml-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar, built from jelly-tags/xml.
- be careful not to get two jar files with different names but
defining the same classes, like jelly-xml-SNAPSHOT.jar and jelly-xml.jar
3) I wrote my own script to launch jelly, listed below.
By the way, the standard format for subject lines to this newsgroup is
with jelly in brackets, like "[jelly] general help" or something like that.
Cheers,
Bill
