I just don't seem to be able to get things working.
I started from the getting started document, but that seems to be
horribly out of date. It still talks about using specific revisions and
applying patches. I'm fairly certain that is no longer necessary - right?
Correct, it is not necessary with HEAD.
So I tried created a new seeded sight and added the dispatcher plugins
to forrest.properties as per the getting started instructions.

No go...
I get a failure in the LM, it can't find lm:resolve.structurer.index
I get a locationmap failure if I don't deploy locally
org.apache.forrest.themes.core and
org.apache.forrest.plugin.internal.dispatcher.
I verified such an LM match exists.
What confuses me is that Mark said in another thread that he tested the
dispatcher today and it worked just fine. So I must be doing something
stupid.
Can someone please give me a set of commands that will make a fresh
dispatcher site build from SVN head. I am desperate to move my
dispatcher 2 sites over to dispatcher 3 so I can start building them
with SVN head again (currently I'm stuck on a dispatcher 2 checkout).
This works for me:
$ cd $FORREST_HOME
$ svn up
updated to 407927
$ cd main
$ ./build.sh clean
$ ./build.sh
$ cd ../whiteboard/plugins/org.apache.forrest.themes.core
$ $FORREST_HOME/tools/ant/bin/ant local-deploy
$ cd ../org.apache.forrest.plugin.internal.dispatcher
$ $FORREST_HOME/tools/ant/bin/ant local-deploy
Now with a seed or seed-basic I make the changes to forrest.properties.
There is a comment you can copy to add the plugins with less typing.
Both static and dynamic modes work for me: Java 1.4.2 on both Linux and
Mac OS X. I think I use Java 5 on Windows XP.
The code to use plugins in place has never worked for me with whiteboard
plugins. I deploy locally any whiteboard plugins I want to use. Are you
also doing this?
