Forrestbot woes
I'm trying to get Forrestbot working. :(
The docs say I need to run "build bot -Dbot.forrestbot.xconf=myOwn.conf.xml
-Dtemplate.echo=[true|false]" but this target does not exist in the build.
I used "build dist" to build the whole thing and found the forrestbot
directory in the build/dist/shbat directory. I then tried the
forrestbot.bat command, but I get an error
BUILD FAILED
Unable to load default ProjectHelper due to java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/xml/sax/SAXException
I would liek to ftp the CLI result, but wan't even get the samples to work.
What am I/the docs missing here??????

P.S. running todays CVS checkout

Forrest.bat works without any problem. You can check out the result at
www.dream-models.com/skin (lots of CSS and added sub menu system)
I'll give the CLASSPATH additions a go and check out the shell scripts. If
I get a working version I'll update the batch file and do a suggestion on
the doc update.

The docs are very out of date :/

I think it might be a problem with the forrestbot.bat script not adding
all the jars. It does try to include lib/endorsed/*.jar:
for %%i in ("%FORREST_HOME%\lib\endorsed\*.jar") do call appendcp.bat %%i
AFAIK the script hasn't been tested under Windows. If you could add a
echo %CLASSPATH% at the end that would help.
Does the normal 'forrest' command work? Eg, in a new directory you
should be able to type 'forrest seed site' and have a new rendered site.
After building Forrest, you should be able to go into
src/resources/forrestbot/samples/, and type:
forrestbot -Dbot.config=xml-forrest-template-cvs.xml
(a nice small site from CVS)
and it should build.
