It is there getting ready for the release: http://forrest.apache.org/0.7/docs/forrestbot.html > Hmmm, so robot != tomcat after all, and instead robot == forrestbot?

There are various methods for Forrest: *) Dynamic application: local webapp for quick edit/view/review aka 'forrest run' (uses the packaged Jetty server). *) Dynamic application: as a webapp runnng in Jetty/Tomcat/etc. *) Command-line: generate a complete static document collection aka 'forrest'. *) Forrestbot: automated building and deployment of a complete static document collection. It can be run via cron or has a webapp interface to enable triggering the build/deploy and for viewing the log output.
