Agreed. I didn't want to put labor-intensive work on you. I just tried to find a reasonable and clean solution to my problem. > But there may be other ways to look at the problem: what is the issue that > you want to solve? Is it just a "all in one" package for Erlang, or is it > something else? I would like to run Apache couchdb from within Eclipse w/o requiring my users to install Erlang or CouchDB before. The whole discussion I had so far with guys from CouchDB is in this thread: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-user/201106.mbox/%3cb249866f-126c-4efb-b009-ef9908b0e...@cs.tu-darmstadt.de%3e One solution could be to provide a complete bundle containing CouchDB + Erlang per platform - which is not my preferred solution since I would like to decouple things if possible. However, it looks like it could work and CouchDB seems to have resources to provide and maintain bundles for several platforms. I will give it a try to see whether it could work.
