[Lift] Lift installers

[Timothy Perrett]

Guys,

As you may or may not know there have been several issues with the
lift installers than configure maven, add javarebal etc etc and this
has caused several users problems.

So, I *finally* pulled my finger out and fixed the problems and
removed the now defunct javarebel - note, if you still would like a
copy of javarebel you can obtain a free copy for scala/lift usage
directly from them (see their website for more info on that). The
installer essentially now installs maven 2.2 and configures a JRE if
one is not present (windows only) and nothing more - if you have a
working maven install, you have all you need and subsequently *don't*
need the installer.

Sorry again if you were caused problems during this transition phase -
all should be well now.

Cheers, Tim

[Lift] Lift Installers

[Tim Perrett]

People,

I'm going to finish the lift installers this weekend and I just got to
thinking about writing some shell scripts to include as well. However,
I then got to think about previous conversations had on this list and
im wondering if we even need shell scripts to wrap the maven
commands?

I mean, as lift nears 1.0, the API is solidifying, and the need for
users to track the snapshots will become less and less unless someone
has a direct need to (or want to), or they are a committer. In this
way, I see:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://scala-tools.org/

becomming the main way to get started with lift? The installers would
then just need to provide a well setup environment etc (which I have
covered off already). It just strikes me that I don't want to start re-
inventing the wheel by creating generation scripts etc etc when maven
can handle stuff like project templates.

Thoughts?

Tim
