I imagine that would be true.  :-)  However, much of the information in the 1.5 
docs is still applicable. We will be updating the docs for 2.0 very soon.

If you run the "deploy" target, you should get a number of JARs and two WAR 
files in the lib directory.

What are you specifying for a classpath? For "Hello BXML" you'll need:

pivot-core-2.0.jar
pivot-wtk-2.0.jar
pivot-wtk-terra-2.0.jar

Great idea. I don't have much experience with CI myself, but I agree that this 
would be helpful. Any chance you'd be willing to look into setting something 
like this up for Pivot?
