note this is not your mistake! - HelloWorld should also be available as
a packaged distribution, and we're working on this.

yes. There was an error in my instructions. In order to build the
documentation and some other stuff that should be in a distribution,
phoenix uses the jakarta-avalon module. I forgot this.
You can either fetch that module as well (put it in your C:\Checkout
directory as well) and then do the "ant dist" again in the
jakarta-avalon-phoenix directory, or you can just, as suggested, type
"ant".
As a recap (for others), this should enable you to run the HelloWorld
application that demonstrates how to use phoenix:
1) You will need to use CVS to get all the files to build and run it.
See http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsindex.html.
2) checkout the modules jakarta-avalon jakarta-avalon-apps and
jakarta-avalon-phoenix.
3) download and install ant (jakarta.apache.org/ant), set ANT_HOME
to where you installed it (more information on all this is available on
the ant website and in the ant docs)
4) go to ./jakarta-avalon-phoenix
5) type "ant dist"
6) go to ./jakarta-avalon-apps/demo
7) type "ant install"
8) go to ./jakarta-avalon-phoenix/dist/bin
9) execute run.bat or run.sh depending on your platform
10) phoenix should start
11) take a look at ./jakarta-avalon-phoenix/dist/logs/phoenix.log
Note that our aim is to, in time, to eliminate 1-7 and replace that with
"get the most recent distribution from this address and unpack". This
works mostly, except we don't have helloworld in there. Advantage of the
above process is that developers also find out about some great tools
(cvs and ant) in the process... :/
Thanks for the feedback, Nikolaj!
