Tim, Thanks for the updates. Below are some more: 9) In "Release Notes" http://people.apache.org/dist/geronimo/eclipse/PLUGIN_RELEASE-NOTES-2.0.0.txt We must mention (may be under Requirements: section) the changes required in "eclipse.ini" if users are using Sun JDK 1.5.0_11. (http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg51412.html)
10) There is no mention! of http://people.apache.org/~mcconne/releases/RC3/build.xml. As you were pointing out on the other thread, it will be good idea to create a wiki page for "Install & Get Started" instructions and capture all information in http://people.apache.org/~mcconne/releases/RC3/Geronimo_Eclipse_Plugin_2.0.0_Instructions-RC3.txtincluding the availability of build.xml, and put a link to it from http://geronimo.apache.org/development-tools.html 11) One more help Tim ;) Under News section of http://geronimo.apache.org/development-tools.html please change the title of "Above presentation updated for Geronimo 2.0.1" to "Above presentation updated for Java EE 5.0 & Geronimo 2.0.1". Between are there any instructions on how to update our website? I would like to add my name under http://geronimo.apache.org/committers.html ;) Thanks, Shiva On 9/27/07, Tim McConnell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Shiva Kumar H R wrote: > > Great.
