Few clarifications
Hi.
I am a new user of xindice and was trying to compile and deploy
xindice and faceing few issues.
I have the following issues and not sure if i am doing anything wrong
or documentation needs to be updated.
1. How-Tos -> Compilation -> Compiling Xindice on Unix
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verify the compilation
If the compile was succeeded, you will find the output files in the
current directory.
quintara:~>ls -l dist
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue: Binaries are created in the current directory and not in dist directory.
2. How-Tos -> Installation -> Xindice Tomcat How-To
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are using Linux, your session might resemble:
root@gogo:/local/xml-xindice# ls -oa dist
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue: Binaries are created in the current directory and not in dist directory.
3. Xindice 1.1 Developer Guide
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setting up Your Build Environment
Once you have your Java VM properly configured you need to add a few
jar files to your CLASSPATH. The following list of jars are required
and should be made available on your CLASSPATH. All required jars can
be found in xindice/java/lib
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue: Build doesn't create java/lib directory. Moreover its dependent
on libraries in tools directory.
Please correct me if I am wrong. Moreover I am a J2EE developer and
would like to contribute to this project.
Thanks,
Ganesh

Thanks a lot for the details. I will work on updating the documentation.

As you probably know, all Apache projects are using Subversion for source
control. You will need to install it [2] and download latest Xindice source code
[1] using svn command. Source code includes documentation, in XML files. You can
edit them and locally preview your changes using forrest [3].
Once you done the editing, you should prepare patch (svn diff) and send it to
this mailing list.

Thanks for the response. I am accessing the SVN trunk using webDAV. I
would like to know if there's any XSLT template or some way to view
the XML as HTML content as it looks in the website. Or should I just
directly edit the XML file and wait until its published?
Thanks,
Ganesh

These both observations are correct. There were changes in directory structure
after 1.1b5 (last documentation update), so some documents are not quite up to date.

Jar files has been moved to lib/, and lib/endorsed/, and there are some
additional libraries there which are not listed on the page.
However you do not need libraries in tools/ for compiling code: there are only
ant and unit test libraries there.

The good first step would be to send patches to documentation - to bring it up
to date. Please look into src/documentation/content/xdocs/ directory in the svn
checkout of xindice trunk.
