About ready to give up on turbine...

[Elliott Wolin]

To the turbine user mail list,

I'm about ready to give up on turbine due to lack of basic documentation. Quite a few others I know have already given up, not a good sign for a project that seeks wide acceptance. I have spent more time trying to figure out the tdk than I've spent on any other similar software product, and am close to giving up and writing the servlet myself.

I see no documentation on how to start from scratch. I would like to create a simple web app. I create a directory "myapp" in tdk_root/webapps. At this point I have no clue what I must do at a minimum, what dirs must exist, what property and xml files I must supply, where I must run ant, etc (emphasis on the must).

The example "newapp" contains hundreds of files and directories...I hope I don't need that many, and I don't want to figure all that out.

A simple app should require a few to a dozen files and dirs, and a small number of steps to get it running...what are these files, dirs, and steps?


Sincerely,
Elliott Wolin

P.S. A reference to the example "skeleton" app helped, but it assumes one knows more about turbine and ant than I do. I want to learn the absolute minimum necessary about turbine and ant to get my app running, then work my way up from there.
