doc change suggestion appdev

A few changes to the files at
jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/appdev
would be:
1) the "example app" page's download is corrupted [the .jar file]
2) in the src code configuration--it should be noted that in order to
run "ant" on build.xml given, you must first set catalina.home [there
or in build.properties] and must
Copy the file "server/lib/catalina-ant.jar" from your Tomcat 5
    installation into the "lib" directory of your Ant installation.

These threw me for a loop.

Also I would suggest the addition of the property 
<property name="url.localhost" value = "http://localhost:8000"/>

[which would require changing the manager.url instantiation to become
 <property name="manager.url"   value="${url.localhost}/manager"/>
]

and then an additional target to the build.xml file--one which would
copy files into the deploy directory [which is vaguely useful for
those when install doesn't work].  This would be the following:

<!-- =================================== deploy target called
CopyBuiltFilesToTomCat ====================== -->

  <target name="CopyBuiltFilesToTomCat"
    depends="dist"
    description="Copy built files to tomcat for deployment">

<delete file="/lib/ant.jar"/>
    <copy toDir="${catalina.home}/webapps/">
      <fileset dir="${dist.home}"
        includes=
        "${app.name}-${app.version}.war"/>
    </copy>
<echo>copied to
${catalina.home}/webapps/${app.name}-${app.version}.war -- access it
at ${url.localhost}/${app.name}-${app.version}</echo>
  </target>



Thanks!
-Roger

Hi,
Wrong list ;)  Please send this to tomcat-user or open a Bugzilla issue for it.
 Thanks,

Yoav
