For what its worth, if you or someone would spend time making it easier to "just build and run" forrest2 (e.g. webapp mode), I would love to look at it again. I personally think that'd be time well spent. I spent several hours the other day with forrest2 and wanted to look at bringing the locationmap inside of spring but quit because of frustration trying to simply run it in webapp mode. I know, I know, this is not very valuable feedback since I'm not explaining the problems I was having technically. I reckon I'm just saying that with my few spare cycles, I don't want to fight with problematic build/deploys. I'm excited about spending it on the meat of forrest2 though. I hate sounding lazy but I suspect that if we don't make the build/deploy process easier to kickstart with forrest2, we'll never get enough folks taking a look to generate any real interest. --tim
