I completely agree, the Forrest situation is not just clumbsy to set up, but makes it more difficult to build and contribute. Its basically a dead project.
There are two needs that Forrest currently fills that I am aware of that may have different solutions: * The website * The documentation We might use something like CQ5 or another content management solution for the web page, and something else for generating the spec documentation and pdfs. I'm not sure what is best (or available to Apache) for each, but I can certainly see these two needs being satisfied by different tools.

If so, you manually have to install a copy of Java 5 and overwrite the Mac symlinks in just the right way. You don't have to change the default system JVM to 1.5 though. Does the symlink /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0 point to a 1.6 JVM? That is what it does on Snow Leopard by default. forrest is somehow not forward compatible with Java 1.6. The trick to getting it to work is to both set the property to that symlink, and make sure that symlink points to an actual java 1.5 install. There are a few threads from the Avro dev list over the past ~7 months that discuss the steps needed to get it to work in more detail. -Scott On May 31, 2010, at 10:49 PM, Jeff Hodges wrote: > Hey, > I'm running into issues build the docs.
