Hi Chris,

Alex has created a maven plugin that generates installers (RPM, windows, etc.)

So as far as I know new installers are usually generated, including RPM, for each release.

The current RPM installer installs everything with one RPM package.

However we are working on a more modular install using individual
packages for each library and installing all the files
using FHS conventions.

I've created an RPM factory maven plugin (User guide here - Just drop it in the eclipse plugins directory and look for RPM Factory User Guide in eclipe help):
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/directory/sandbox/oersoy/guides/rpm.factory.user.guide

It produces RPMs out of jar artifacts in the maven repository.

I've also rewritten the startup shell script, and I can send it to you
if you want to have a look.

Cheers,
- Ole

Alex,
You said something about rpms and I was wondering if you normally create rpms for releases. All of the servers that I would use a directory on are bare bones servers and lack X11 packages and I try to avoid installing them on servers like this. I am mainly just curious, but if you have spec files I can try to help maintain and test them.
