I want to use Avalon in a servlet and database based application, and from reading the docs, it seemed that Fortress is the appropriate tool. However, I'm having trouble getting it.
I first tried grabbing the cvs modules so I could build it myself - no luck, CVS responds with a 'permission denied' response when I try to grab it using my apache account. When I try using 'anoncvs' I'm told there's no such user. Just for the record, I am able to checkout other projects, such as jakarta-site2 and jmeter.
So then I tried grabbing source releases, but there appears to be no less than a billion separate files. Is this necessary? How do I know what I need?
So, what's the secret to getting fortress and everything it needs to function?
The "permission denied" thing is something that is relatively new to me too. It has to do with tightening security for CVS access. If you don't have your entry in the AVAIL file, or a group that includes you in the AVAIL file, you will not have permissions. I ran into this problem trying to access the Geronimo and AltRMI code.
You *have* to use anonymous CVS even if you have a valid Apache login.
As to getting Fortress, it is released. It should be available from the downloads link on the site. THere is a binary release that has a "big" JAR which includes all the other stuff you need to get Fortress running.
