It took a little messing about but I got the build working. Dropping the JavaMail and JAF jars into place didn't fix it; what *did* fix it was modifying the project.xml file so that it picked up newer versions of these packages. I'm guessing that the Maven repository no longer carries JavaMail 1.3.3 or JAF 1.0.2, since they're basically obsolete - changing to JavaMail 1.4.1 and JAF 1.1 did the trick.
So it deployed into my local Tomcat and worked fine. However the only sources in the tree after the build appear to be some that were auto-generated by Torque; no actions, layouts, screens etc. As such the demo tells me nothing of any use as far as learning to use Turbine. Ah, well... There's no real point me going forward as far as my evaluation is concerned - I can push as hard as I like, telling people that Turbine would be a good solution here, but it won't do any good without some documentation to get the other developers kick-started with using it. As such, it won't get any traction. However I'm still very interested in it and I think it's worth persevering with, so here's what I'm going to do: first, I'll remove this email address from the mailing list and re-subscribe with my personal addy. Then I'll find whatever materials I can and try to work up a kick-start app and an accompanying quickstart document. If that works out I'll donate the materials here. Don't hold your breath - I'll be doing this on personal time so it may take a while - but if Turbine is as good as I think it really is, then perhaps this is a way I can make a real contribution. And hell, later down the road maybe I'll help fill in some of the blanks on the Wiki pages :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
