1. Your not the only dummy: Yesterday I asked a question, which could simply be answered by looking at the sources more carefully. 2. After Maven finhes there are a few directories more in your tobago source directory: simply search for "target" or "*SNAPSHOT*" or "*.jar". Each of the terms should work. 3. Try to use a explicit SVN-Tool for checking out such programs. That's much easier, than with sublicpse. The mpst used is tortoisesvn for windows. 4. Ist echt nicht so schlimm, wie es aussieht. Wenn man die ersten Schritte hat (z.B. mit dem Blank example ...) dann macht das echt Spaß!!! 4 (english) There is no magic and it's fun to use !
