While downloading is easy enough, it might be even easier to have an
Ant file that you can run "ant" to download the required JARs from
java.net using wget.

I have prepared a second release candidate: Roller 2.3 RC2
(incubating). This email lists the changes since RC1, asks for
feedback and provides links to the Roller and Roller support
downloads and docs.
Changes since RC1
----
* Removed JSPWiki, Ekit and JavaScript enhanced editors from Roller SVN
* Removed setup instructions for those components from installation
guide
* Updated CHANGES.txt and the What's New doc on the wiki
* Roller Support project now offers these "helpful" downloads
- Required [1] Jars for Roller 2.3 Webapp
- Required Jars for Roller 2.3 Source
- Optional plugins for Roller 2.3 (JSPWiki plugin)
- Optional editor addins for Roller 2.3 (Ekit, JS enhanced)
- Optional themes for Roller 2.3 (Almost Spring and Ocadia)
* Roller Support wiki explains how to install and configure each of
the downloads
[1] These are the "required" jars to run Roller, but you can get them
directly from the Hibernate instead and, in fact, that's what the
official Roller installation guide tells you to do.
Please help with testing and feedback
----
Roller 2.3 is the first release that doesn't include the Hibernate
jars, so I'm very interested in feedback on the installation and
upgrade processes:
* Is the Installation Guide section on downloading the Hibernate jars
clear and easy to follow?
* Does the Installation Guide provide sufficient warning/instructions
about missing pieces?
* Is the Roller Support site clear and easy to follow
* Are the installation instructions for required and optional components
* Where could Roller Support site be improved
- Missing instructions?
- Better organization?
- Screenshots or other illustrations?
