What did you do about "forrest"? For me it compiles up to the point where it says the "forrest" directory is not present.
I agree with you precisely on the documentation. I had a hard time telling what was required with this release without trying to compile it and then it tells me the jar files are missing. For the 1.0 release, this really needs to be fixed. I've been an OJB user for a long time and still find this annoying. I don't see any mention of "forrest" in the documentation.
