Hi,
I've been away from Tapestry for quite a while and haven't done any serious Tapestry stuff for at least 9 months. I have come back to find everything broken and I feel like a complete newbie <sigh>. Could someone set me straight. Problem 1 (which I have solved) is that I found Maven refused, when using the "Quickstart Archetype", to download http://tapestry.formos.com/maven-snapshot-repository/archetype-catalog.x ml giving "connection refused" even though it had no trouble downloading everything else and I could access this file via my browser. I am behind a corporate firewall, so there seems to be an issue here with this Tapestry repository location (I had no problems when I attempted this at home). I spent two days on this and eventually got the Maven source and modified LightweightWagon and hardcoded our proxy server. Probably not the right thing to do but it worked - perhaps someone can suggest what should be done (I tried everything including various things in my settings.xml, the global settings.xml and even went as far as using cntlm, although that was not necessary and didn't solve it anyway). Problem 2 - http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5.1/tutorial1/first.html is out of date and doesn't work. As I'm sure you are aware "create" is deprecated. When it's changed to "generate" it does d/l a lot of stuff but the build fails (it throws an exception inside Maven). Problem 3 - Having failed on (2) I tried the "Quickstart Archtype" http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5.1/quickstart/ . Great - it does work and mvn jetty:run works. However, when I create a new Project and place the code into Eclipse it does not work. I can't import it as it's not an Eclipse Project. Jetty runs when the project is run in Eclipse but the Index page in the browser just has "[[missing key: greeting]]" and nothing else. To add to this tale of woe, my last big Tapestry project no longer works. I fire it up and now get Jetty giving me a 503 code, yet it was working fine a year ago. Anyway, I would just like a nice clean simple example that works in Eclipse so I can begin coding a new webapp. I am at my wits end... :-(
