Here is the notes I took while installing Gumpy:

- gumpy.sh is not executable

- why provide and workspace are in different files?

- workspace "email|maillist" should be "to|from" since you might not want to send it to mail list but to yourself

- where do relative directories start from? [shouldn't there be a "basedir" attribute like for ant build files?]

- there is no -h|--help for gumpy

- the "-d|--debug" CLI parameter doesn't do anything

- the "workspace" configuration template should contain all the possible parameters that gumpy recognizes as comments

- I think the "this runs the Python Gump" can go away now

- running the minimal-profile.xml generates 15% of successes and 27% of failures and 57% of prereqs. *Not exactly promising*

- ant says "success" when the "bootstrap-ant" is a failure... *smells like severe problems here*

- bootstrap-ant fails with this

... Bootstrapping Ant Distribution
... Compiling Ant Classes
src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/Target.java:223: cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : class Hashtable
location: class org.apache.tools.ant.Target
        Hashtable t = (p == null) ? null : p.getTargets();
        ^

1 error
... Failed compiling Ant classes!

where the classpath is

CLASSPATH       :/opt/java/lib/tools.jar

I think it should at least contain the rt.jar but the documentation didn't say anything about that!
- would be definately a *LOT* easier if the command line printed stuff instead of just being silent and you have to keep hitting reload on the browser just to know what's going on!

- now I added the classpath as

export CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/rt.jar:$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar

but the page says that classpath is

CLASSPATH       :/opt/java/jre/lib/rt.jar /opt/java/lib/tools.jar

                             ---- o ----

Enough for tonight.

Overall experience: not so bad, but it *definately* needs polishing... it totally feels like a system that only one guy uses :-/ we'd better fix that.
