#1 Customization tips

[Anonymous]

I've got RP up and running (using the bin). Way easier
than what I went through with just the lucene package.
Very nice it works great as is for an intranet solution.

I want to use it for a more commrecial setting indexing
local files on a Linux server and am looking to make
customizations. Being new to tomcat and java I thought
I'd start with some simple html tweaks.

How do I go about customizing the html pages?

Do I just goto the WEBAPPS dir and unjar the files and
make modifications or do I need the src and have to
learn howto use ant to rebuild? I'll start there, but
any tips or gotchas would be welcome.

FYI: Fedora Core 3 dev box, Tomcat 5.5, java 1.5.
I found jakarta rpms, including ant, here.

Thanks for the great work.
