Error: No resource found: installer-registry.properties

I was trying to demonstrate the quick-start example on Monday, and 
had the following launch error:

Exception in thread "main" org.apache.isis.core.commons.exceptions.IsisException: No resource found: installer-registry.properties

I am now trying to launch the "claims" example, and I get the same 
error.. Is this something new? I don't recognise 
"installer-registry.properties" ?

Hi Kevin,
I've had this issue a few times myself, but a mvn clean install seems to 
fix it.

To answer your question... installer-registry.properties is not a new 
file, though it was renamed a few months ago (it used to have a somewhat 
obscure name, can't quite remember what).

Anyway, the point of installer-registry.properties is to provide a 
lookup from name -> class for the various components that the default 
runtime (oai.runtimes:dflt module) bootstraps.  In other words, when you 
type Isis --viewer dnd, the "dnd" is used to lookup the "Installer" (ie 
component factory) that implements ViewerInstaller and can be used to 
instantiate said viewer.  Ditto for --persistor sql, and so on.

You'll find the file itself hidden away in src/main/resources for 
(oai.runtimes.dflt:runtime), ie 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/isis/trunk/runtimes/dflt/runtime/src/main/resources/org/apache/isis/runtimes/dflt/runtime/installer-registry.properties.   
We load it from the classpath (hence in src/main/resources).

Hmm... looks like something was out of sync. I did a "mvn clean 
install" on trunk, and the error seems to have gone away!
