Hi folks, Before dropping the war, I would like to hear our mentors (or members) about the release state and what's going (so) bad.
Shindig is not the only one ASF projects which distributes a war file: wicket (no N or L in the wicket-examples-1.4-rc4.war or wicket-examples-1.4-rc4.war\META-INF) nutch (no N or L in the nutch-1.0.war or nutch-1.0.war\META-INF) ode (with N+L in ode.war\META-INF but N seems to miss some artifacts) incubator click (no N or L in the click-examples.war or click-examples.war\META-INF) Other war distributing approaches in ASF world: roller (apache-roller-4.0.1.zip) includes an exploded war with N+L in root openejb distributes only sources in openejb-examples-3.1.zip with N+L in root cocoon-getting-started-2.2.0.zip distributes sources and artifacts with N+L in root (no mention in N of the artifacts) If distributing the war is too complicated, distributing the war source in a zip could be a good alternative...
