[MERLIN] boostrap updates

[Stephen McConnell]

Some changes to the Merlin 2.1 bootstrap process have just been comitted. These changes simply the startup process and make the selection of different deployment scenarios a lot easier - however, this change will require updates to existing configuration.

Instead of a seperate kernel.xml and blocks.xml - the two files have been merged.
You kernel.xml should be update to include your <blocks> element as an element embedeed within the <kernel> element. E.g..

<kernel>

<!-- logging stuff -->

<blocks>
<!-- blocks declaration -->
</blocks>

</kernel>

A new bootstrap system has been put in place that used the commons CLI package. To get details of the command line options you can do the following:

$ cd <your-merlin-dir>
$ merlin -help

After updating you kernel.xml file to include the <blocks> element, you would run it up using the following command:

$ merlin -profile <your-kernel-xml-filename>

The demo profile can be executed by doing the following:

$ merlin -profile config/demo.xml

Cheers, Steve.
