[Chello-users] Re: Comments to chello.sourceforge.net

[Cyril C. <cca...@iv...>]

1/ concerning the "Getting Started", you can find a QUICKSTART file in
the standard distribution. However, this file can surely be improved and
any help is welcome
2/ Yes, Chello works with many web container, including Tomcat 4,
Weblogic and many. For the moment, our "reference" container is Tomcat
3, but I think we should move to Tomcat 4 as it seems to be fairly
stable now
3/ Concerning ANT, you're right. Our goal is to have a stand-alone
environment except for Tomcat and the JDK. This is why Chello includes
Ant. If we continue to do so, I agree Chello should not use ANT_HOME.
