Jukka Zitting commented on JCR-296: ----------------------------------- Thanks for raising the issue! You are absolutely correct, the available documentation is not very beginner-friendly. I'll take a look at the issues you raised. About having a help forum on the web site: We are currently using on the jackrabbit-dev mailing list as the forum for asking questions as well as discussing Jackrabbit issues. Would there be interest in for example setting up a part of the Jackrabbit wiki as an easier-to-approach Q/A forum for new users? > More details for beginners > -------------------------- > > Key: JCR-296 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-296 > Project: Jackrabbit > Type: Wish > Reporter: Celina Konito > Assignee: Jukka Zitting > > Hi everyone, > I'm one of these beginners trying to make their way in Jackrabbit and content > repositories universe. > Besides the fact that there exist but very few examples on Jackrabbit use, > all of them, including the official web site of Jackrabbit miss few details, > simple though essential, for beginners. > My first point is the following: once Jackrabbit source is checked out and > built, time to test it using simple examples. But, where to put the example > directory from the beginning. How to run it (maven java:compile....) ? > A second point is the fact that there is no help forum on the Jackrabbit web > site. > A third point, taking my case as an example, the example would just not > create a new workspace configuration. > And many other troubleshoots - I repeat - basic but essential, that could > avoid dozens of wasted hours and discouragment, if just mentioned on the > website. > Here it is my wish :-) for the best of Jackrabbit ;-) I hope! > Regards, > Celina -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
