When i do the quick test of the release candidate package,
it won't run straight away as advertised at ./index.html

mkdir /local/08-test-release-rc1 and cd there
set FORREST_HOME and PATH

cd site-author
forrest run
---------------
Apache Forrest.  Run 'forrest -projecthelp' to list options

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
org/apache/tools/ant/launch/Launcher
---------------

I also tried to 'cd main; build' but same error
at the beginning of the process.

With an up-to-date trunk, try the 'release-dist' target.
Unpack it and see how you go.

NOTE: Please do not use that for testing and voting.
It must be using the final package that i provide
in the next step.
