Hi All ! Sorry haven't had much time lately. The school has started and it takes alot of my time at the moment. I have converted it back to 1.4.2 so thats done. Also I know that there isn't much comment nor is the documentation any good.
Also the code needs some refactoring. Hopefully I'll make som dokument containing the design. Also I'll make some scripts (.sh .bat) to build the aplication and give some more detaild instructions on how to deploy the .war. A clearer description of the folders and the content of them. This is my first "real" project with opensource so regarding the licens files, Do I need to unpack the licens files or is it enought to let them be in the jar files of the third party jars ?? Also I have now added the Apache Lincens in the root directory of the project. I quess I'll have to include it in the war archive as well when they build it with ant. Please feel free to comment. I'm in this to learn and hope that you don't get sick of my stupidity and novice questions. When I get some free time I'll fix it. Hopefully there will be 2-3 hours a week.
