I see. That is both good (Java is a great school of coding) and bad
(Java is an ocean and it takes a lifetime to swim it over) for Red5
newcomers.

What configs do you mean? There are actual Jetty configs mixed with
Spring context files (which are not configs of any kind at all, they are
object containers actually... although they might contain configurers
and object processors).
If you mean deployment configuration, then it's a good idea to include
it in the documentation or at least provide links to Tomcat/JBoss
references.

I'd like to be guru at anything... but I'm just a "guru wannabe". ;)

Try to change java call in Red5 bat launcher to javaw. javaw is the same
as java, it launches Java application by execution main method from the
class in the classpath, but it gives you no console view.
About live logs from the log file... I'm not sure how good admin console
is now but the quite easy way I see is to develop a Flex application
that recieves messages from Red5.
We'll investigate this (c)

This is a quite misleading way that had been show in the documentation
back to March or earlier...
When you run ant server you actually run server target (I mean build
target called "server"). It recompiles the server itself and then runs
it. You see that it's an overhead, no need to recompile Red5 everytime
you change a bit in your own application. Just compile it, package as
JAR, copy that JAR into appropriate location
(your-killer-app/WEB-INF/lib) and restart Red5.
This is easily done with Ant build script. You can find out more about
Ant @ apache.org.
And again... we end up with a huge need for Red5 IDE on top of Eclipse
JDT ;)
