problems getting setup
Hi, I am trying to update the cocoon website, following roughly the instructions at http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/CocoonWebsiteUpdate. I've got forrest 0.6 installed, updated path and FORREST_HOME accordingly. When doing forrest from the root site directory i get : d:\src\cocoon-siteforrest Apache Forrest. Run 'forrest -projecthelp' to list options Buildfile: d:\tools\apache-forrest-0.6\src\core\forrest.build.xml init-props: [echo] Loading project specific properties from D:\src\cocoon-site\forrest. properties [echo] Loading user specific properties from C:\Documents and Settings\heymjo\forrest.properties [echo] Loading default properties from d:\tools\apache-forrest-0.6\src\core -emacs -logger org.apache.tools.ant.NoBannerLogger\context\default-forrest.pro perties [mkdir] Created dir: D:\src\cocoon-site\${project.temp-dir} [echo] [echo] -- Warning -- [echo] Using skin forrest-site which is deprecated.

I've got forrest 0.6 installed, updated path and FORREST_HOME accordingly. Hmmm, no idea sorry. I can build cocoon-site no problems. Would you try this test please: cd somewhere mkdir my-test; cd my-test forrest seed forrest ... that will determine that your forrest installation is okay. -David

Sorry, someone else might have ideas. I just found out what was wrong : i had FORREST_HOME set to d:\tools\forrest\scr\core\ , removing the trailing backslash made everything work. I've been bitten by trailing slashes in env variables a few times before, it always amazes me how they are able to completely wreck good software and make it display errors nobody has ever seen before. oh well :( Jorg
