Thanks!


Question... does it run the merlin defined by MERLIN_HOME? 


Yes


And what
repository does it use by default?


MERLIN_HOME/Repository
MERLIN_HOME/System
This is not correct.
The system repository should be:
  ${merlin.system}

The ${merlin.system} is evaluated from

  1. a system property named 'merlin.system'
  2. the a property declared in a merlin.properties file
     - in ${user.dir}
     - in ${user.home}
     - in ${merlin.home}
  3. otherwise, it defaults to ${merlin.home}/system
     where ${merlin.home} is resolved using the same steps
     (1,2,3) with the property name 'merlin.home' and a final
     default value on the environment variable resolution of
     MERLIN_HOME
The appliaction repository should be:

  ${merlin.repository}

The ${merlin.repository} is evaluated from

  1. a system property named 'merlin.repository'
  2. the a property declared in a merlin.properties file
     - in ${user.dir}
     - in ${user.home}
     - in ${merlin.home}
  3. otherwise, it defaults to ${avalon.home}/system
     where ${avalon.home} is resolved using the same steps
     (1,2,3) with the property name 'avalon.home' and a final
     default value on the environment variable resolution of
     AVALON_HOME
There is code that does all of this already inside the kernel/impl 
factory and criteria classes.  Sounds like we should pull that out into 
a common utility.

Cheers, Steve.

I was just thinking about to add preference pages, so that we could
change those settings.
What do you think about the directory structure in your sample project?
