Build process

["Kimpton,C (Chris)" <Ki...@rabo-bank.com>]

Hi,

I really like how you can download some of the other jakarta projects like
velocity or turbine and just build them out of the box - everything is in
CVS (well except for Jav and the OS  ;-)  ).

It ensures that you have the correct versions of dependant libraries and
things are configured correctly...

How about doing this for slide - I'd be willing to make these changes, if
that helps.

Regards,
Chris

PS guess what I am currently doing.... trying to build slide...

There are some drawbacks when you do this.

Instead, I chose to use the new Jakarta sripts and build environment, which is 
a WIP but is a very clean solution. I'll also use cjan when it's more ready.

I'm looking for some more detailed feedback. What was your biggest issue ? 
Downloading and setting up Ant ? Downloading the dependencies ? Something else ?
