Yes Sir, you are correct as Mr Karr also pointed out. I'll be committing the complete tutorial later today or first thing tomorrow. So don't worry about changing it for now.
As I'm hammering through these screenshots, I hate to think that I will single handedly increase the documentation by 2 Meg. I'm about 60% complete with NetBeans and about 30% with Eclipse. I was planning to add the same for JBuilder 6 Personal Edition, but not sure about legal issues with displaying their product (you would think that they would appreciate more coverage, who knows :/ ) Your thoughts? -- James Mitchell Software Engineer/Struts Evangelist http://www.open-tools.org "If you were plowing a field, which would you rather use?
