My plan is to complete a first version of the Basic User's Guide for the
2.0 version this year, because the next weeks I have some time due to
holidays.
Unfortunately, the installers in trunk do not compile, because they use
the old StartupConfiguration style.
Is it possible to fix this until Xmas? My skills are unfortunately not
sufficient.
I can do other parts of the guide first (and other tasks as well), but
the description of the installation for various OS is important for
newbies.
Fixing in bigbang branch would be enough for me. Basically, I just need
to figure out how a binary download version of ApacheDS 2.0 will look
like. For instance to test the different configuration tasks with a
fresh installation.
Thanks in advance,
Stefan

Thanks a lot Stefan. If you have any kind of problem while writing the
documentation, just ping us : we will urgently fix the bug so that you
can make progress. Documentation is as important as the code, maybe more
.... (nobody read the code, when a few people read the doc. Yes, this is
not an urban legend !)

Thanks Emmanuel!
I must correct myself a bit: the installers project in bigbang has been
fixed and compiles. It seems that the merge of this part to trunk has
not taken place.
Anyway, an "mvn install" in project "installers" is successful (some
warnings) but does not create any installer. Perhaps I am missing something.
Chris? Thanks in advance.

This is just a little note that I was able to create a Win32 native
installer from the bigbang branch, which sucessfully installed ApacheDS,
set up a windows service etc, and the server starts and talks to the
outside.
I will use this version to document configuration changes (new
server.xml style), if relevant to the Basic User's Guide (which I plan
to update for the 2.0 first).
For redoing the Open Group certification tests for the upcoming 2.0, the
apacheds-noarch installer would be nice. Unfortunately, this one does
not build. "mvn install" is successful, but there is a warning like
[WARNING] Attempting to build MavenProject instance for Artifact of
type: jar; constructing POM artifact instead.
The build states "succesful". but the resulting jar
apacheds-noarch-installer-1.5.2-SNAPSHOT.jar is only 14 kB.
Do I miss something here?
Anyway, for my documentation task, the native installers will do.
Greetings,
Stefan
