Hello ofbiz users,
I am a newbie wit a couple of questions:

1- Is the tutorial "A beginners Development Guide" still current?

The reason I am asking is that I have been trying for more than 3 hours to get part 2 to work but I always get the error message: /java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not find screen file with name [component://practice/webapp//
///practice/widget/CommonScreens.xml]//./
When I remove the /webapp/ part from the path, I get:
/java.lang.RuntimeException: Error rendering included screen named [CommonPracticeDecorator] at location [component://practice/widget/CommonScreens.xml]: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /media/VERBATIMSSD/ofbiz/trunk/hot-deploy/practice/widget/CommonScreens.xml (No such file or directory)/ The file is there. I have tried many different combinations with and without the "webapp" part, but to no avail. I thought this thing was going to be simple but it is a little bit frustrating. I have looked in the example application and the main difference at this point is whether or not /webapp/ should be there or not.

2- How do ofbiz experts actually develop their applications and what am I doing wrong?

I spent close to 4 hours trying to fix what I believe is a trivial thing, but 90% of that time was spent restarting the application even though I am running in debug mode with the latest from svn. If I change a single character in a single xml file, I restart the whole server. I really want to like this software because of the amount of work I see that people have put in but this is one of those times I wished I was a php developer.
Thx for your help.
