Glen Mazza commented on ROL-2079:
---------------------------------
I'm opposed to this. It's not our job to supply and maintain servlet
containers and embedded databases, that's the responsibility of the user, along
with making sure that his servlet container and database is properly secured
and patched for his operating system, java version, etc. It's outside our
scope. The user can see our community page with the 50 or so Roller blogs
hosted on it to get an idea of Roller's capabilities, that's sufficient.
JSPWiki made in my opinion the regrettable decision to fatten itself up with
executable distributions that look cute but once done, nobody wants to maintain
and it ends up driving prospective committers away when they look at the
mountain of executables that need to be updated and maintained everytime the
servlet container or JSPWiki needs updating.

> Key: ROL-2079

> Project: Apache Roller
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Kohei Nozaki
> Assignee: Roller Unassigned
> Priority: Trivial
>
> Recently I found that executable WAR that used in some Java based web
> applications such as Jenkins is nice, and I think it's useful for someone who
> is looking for give Roller a try.
> It's just an idea yet, but fortunately, Roller is portable and it can run
> with embedded databases (e.g. Derby or HSQLDB) and embedded containers (e.g.
> Jetty or Embedded Tomcat?), so I guess it's not hard to create a executable
> WAR distribution.
> Are there any difficulty in realize this? I'd like to get any feedback.
