[jira] Commented: (MRM-701) Buggy documentation on "separating the base from the installation"

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRM-701?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=130724#action_130724 ] 

Doron Solomon commented on MRM-701:
-----------------------------------

I too was able to get this working following the procedure above, although I didn't need to do step 4 since I'm using Archiva 1.0.2.  However, in my opinion copying the conf directory could cause confusion for someone who is unsure which conf directory (the one in the installation or the one in $PLEXUS_BASE) is the "real" configuration.  I would suggest instead one of the following two options.

The first option would be to modify the procedure to say that only the xml files in conf/ should be moved to PLEXUS_BASE; the classworlds.conf file should remain with the installation.

The second option would be to modify the path to classworlds.conf in all wrapper.conf files as well as the plexus.bat and plexus.sh files; the path should find classworlds.conf in $PLEXUS_BASE instead of $PLEXUS_HOME.  I personally prefer this option since it makes a simpler manual process to separate the base from the installation.
