Hey Remy,
I downloaded:

http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-slide/nightly/2001-06-26/jakarta-sl
ide.zip
per your suggestion and I attempt to run startup.bat in the
\jakarta-slide\server\bin directory with the follow results:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Doc base must point to a WAR file
Can you please direct me on how to resolve this?
Thanks,
Matt
