Hi Lily,

I'm afraid I cannot find the docs in the two distributions which are supposed to contain them:

o There is supposed to be a docs directory in the bin distribution. That directory is supposed to contain the built versions of the docs. I tripped across this problem because the top level docs links in index.html don't work.

o The src distribution is supposed to contain two parallel directories, one for the program source and the other for the docs source. The docs source is missing.

These seem to me to be serious problems which warrant a new candidate.

I am enclosing the generateRelease script which I use to build releases. This may help you understand what went wrong. I believe that Myrna has also put some work into coding a master release target which builds both the docs and the jars. You may have encountered some problem in crafting tools/ant/properties/packaging.properties. That's where the directives live which glue the two repositories together.

My script assumes the following directory structure:

derby
derby/docs
derby/docs/10.6
derby/branches
derby/branches/10.6

I run the script after changing directory to derby/branches and setting SANDBOX=branches and BRANCH=10.6.

Hope this helps,
-Rick
