Hi Andrew,
Great to see you diving into Hippo ECM.
Thanks a lot for your comments, we want more!

PS. It might be a good idea to post your comments on the ECM list, see

Hi guys,
Some feedback on Hippo ECM ... Part One :-O
First of all - it was quite hard to track down where to start, etc.
Lots of blank pages, dead ends .... but you didn't manage to stop me!
Even if http://www.hippo-ecm.org/ is just a holding space for now, it
might be less confusing to add some temporary content "Hippo ECM -
docs coming soon" instead of just serving up all the other hippocms
stuff. Or point to http://www.hippo-ecm.org/display/HIPPOECM/Home
http://repodocs.hippocms.org/ is perhaps incorrectly named, since ECM
is more than just the repo?
"Run Hippo ECM" links to an unhelpful blank page.
"Building with Maven" links to an unhelpful blank page.
Your building with eclipse page [1] could be re-ordered to do all the
eclipse updates in one go, rather than installing subversive, jetty
plugin, jpox, etc as multiple steps? It's quicker and prevents
multiple restarts of Eclipse.
Also, watch out for Window -> Preferences : the Preferences are in
different places depending on platform (on the Mac, it's under the
"Eclipse" menu, Option ','.
From [1], step 9 of installing Eclipse JPOX Plugin, "Add the jars for
jpox-core, jpox-enhancer and bcel to the classpath. Currently the
version 1.2.0-beta-2 is used for JPOX and 5.1 for BCEL; to maintain
consistency with the maven build, check these values in the
jpox-maven-plugin pom file." -- I don't have JPOX jars on my machine,
but I suspect I will after maven does it's thing. Perhaps you could
explain where they should come from? (The jpox site [2] has a wealth
of content, it's not easy to see where to start.)
That's all for now ...

Thanks,
