Yes, agreed. There needs to be documentation about how to setup a Beehive-enabled controls project, WSM project, and ` enabled web application (and combinations of the above). This includes the requisite external software such as Ant, Axis, and Tomcat.
Just don't think that there's much written up there yet. <g>

I think people are much more likely to down load the light thing more often during development than to down load a large distribution. We don't swap out Axis and Tomcat often, but you may pick up loads more frequently. Ken is right, we need to include documentation what is necessary to get the thing running.

Agree having a core platform neutral distribution is step 0 -- I do
think at least having instructions on how to turn that core distribution
into something immediately usable is really important. So even if we
don't actually build a distro in the near term that _contains_ bits like
Axis and Tomcat, we shouldn't consider the core distro complete until it
has clear directions on how users can do their own bolting on of those
bits.

Agreed, and good points. Including Axis (a runtime for WSM) is an argument for including Tomcat (a runtime for NetUI). For now, I'd rather go without and we can include containers on which WSM / NetUI artifacts execute at some point with a heavier distribution.
I'm going to start working on getting the core of the proposed distribution structure going. We can bolt on Axis / Tomcat later pending the outcome of this discussion.
Thanks for the feedback.

We need to be very careful to separate the components (jars/build support/etc) that are platform-neutral (like Axis
jars) from those that enable Beehive to be integrated with a specific runtime platform (Axis, Tomcat etc).
Sorry... Axis jars are an example of something
platform-specific *not* platform neutral.
