obviously not working). I'll see what I can do: meanwhile, would you mind posting the build.xml diff to Bugzilla (same bug) so that I can try it out?

AFAIK I've integrated the changes in the build.xml file and it's already committed.


The file is there I suppose (config/xindice.xml), but here I disagree. I tend to think that there shouldn't be anything like a Catalina configuration file, Catalina is not the only app server around. The idea is that the WAR should be as app-server agnostic as possible, so it's OK to add a configuration snippet, but I'd rather call the WAR Xindice.war so that there are no misunderstandings.

I tried the xindice.xml file and it wouldn't work with my Tomcat. Since I'm not a Tomcat user, I asked Gerry for a detailed (aka dumb-ass) howto to see where the problems are. But if we have a detailed Tomcat howto with the configuration described, I don't have any problem removing the file.


As for renaming the war xindice.war, I don't mind. It up to the Tomcat users to give their opinions. But it must be really easy to figure out the version, like adding this information to the war's metafile. Other idea: it would be nice to have zip and tar.gz archives for the war too. We would then have 3 releases (bin, war and src).
