Hi Emmanuel, I just wanted to give a bit more details about the problems I was having with maven. It didn't seem too serious, and maybe it's normal, but it was just a bit worrisome due to my naivete with maven ;-)

You are welcome ;) > Haha, ok. I did use maven 2.0.4. The errors I got were along the lines of "I couldn't download that from that location" or "IO error while downloading that." Just reissuing 'mvn install' over and over seemed to get me a build, so I'm happy until I get to testing out the build ;-) > > Once I got it built, the installers seemed to be missing > for Windows, > > how do I invoke the server without the binary executable (my > > preference while developing anyway)? > > If you want to embed ADS, I don't think you need to build the > installers.

Thanks for the help, it's much appreciated! > Emmanuel > Cheers, Craig
