[Treebase-devel] Mesquite troubles

[Rutger V. <rut...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I'm still having trouble getting mesquite to play nice, so this email
is a cry for help!

I'm hoping that Vladimir and/or Youjun can give this some thought as
well, because maybe I'm just overlooking something obvious. What
continues to happen is that mesquite can't figure out where it is
located when I run it inside tomcat. It then tries to ask the user
where the mesquite manual is located (so that it can compute the
correct path relative to the manual file), but because in headless
mode we default to "OK" on all user queries everything breaks down
from then on.

Here's what I've done recently:

* I added anything that seems pertinent w.r.t. mesquite <=> treebase
interaction to the wiki page:
https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/treebase/index.php?title=HeadlessMesquite

* I committed the treebase class files to /treebase-core/lib

* I removed all reference to mesquite from the pom.xml files
(apologies for adding them in the first place, I was hoping we could
integrate it in the maven system)

* I emailed Jin Ruan, Peter Midford, Mark-Jason Dominus and Wayne Maddison.

Is Peter at nescent right now? Could someone knock on his door and
plead for his help? He knows a lot about mesquite!

Thanks,

Rutger
