I ran into the same issues.  Some of the info I found on the web was 
old.   Basically, this is what I did.  Simpler than some of the other 
readings I found.


1) I checked out code from SVN using the info found on 
http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/wiki/How_To_Commit_Code


2) I edited webapp/api/exhibit-api-js file:

set var useLocalResources = true;
changed http://127.0.0.1:8888/ to my local web server


3) I also checked out the latest Timeline code.  Then, in the exhibit 
code tree, edit webapp\api\extensions\time\time-extension.j sto point to 
your local Timeline code.


This seemed to work for me EXCEPT that I keep getting errors (as noted 
by Firebug) that locale files cannot be found.  They were not part of 
the SVN checkout.  I did run ant to optimize/bundle the code.  I know I 
should for better performance.  Does the ant build create locale files?

You may also need to make changes for the painter service.  That can be 
checked out (I think) to run locally as well.
