Hi Jeffrey,
Yes all that bit worked fine. The only problem bit was 'mvn package'. It gets
the various web.xml files from the source directories but did not substitute a
value for ${dspace.dir}. I am not sure how it should do this, should it be
clever and look at the value in the edited dspace.cfg file in the source
directory ? It didn't appear to do so for me, I had to manually set the
parameter. I have just had a wee look at the various pom's and there are
references to a profile for dspace.config but there is no mention of this in
the installation instructions.
Cheers.
