[Makumba-comm-build] Providing a sample dev. environment

[Gwenael A. <gwe...@be...>]

Hi there!

I'm still amazed every time I run it by the easiness of the
installation of the BEST-specific makumba developper bundle. In a
couple of clicks it installs everything needed from tomcat and makumba
to the DB engine. Really smooth, that was really a nice work Ducu
(when virus-free at least ;)).

I have a feeling that providing such a running application 2 clicks
away would simpler do wonders when it comes to spreading makumba.
Otherwise you need to master all the subtleties of JDBC or find your
way in the jungle or at least the information about the recommended
ant version.
What is your feeling?

Ducu do you think it would be doable to make a similar win-package,
but this time without any BEST related items (putting just a couple of
tables like general.Person and general.Country or the like with a
couple of dummy entries in each, and a couple of JSPs/BL files). Such
a bundle would be also much lighter than the BEST one thanks to that.
Maybe even CVS is not needed either in this context.
Ducu, if we go for it, just tell me if I can be of any help. Or maybe
you could give instructions to someone else if there are people
interested to take over this

Hugs,
Gwen
