Re: [Webwork-devel] loading log4j.properties

[Victor S. <vsa...@ho...>]

Matt, that's great... Although my suggestion would be to create a "ant 
skeleton" target, that builds a bare-bones, no frills webwork dir structure. 
A new user can take this structure and use it to build an app. Out of my 
evangelizing process, the biggest problem people have encountered is setting 
up initially. By making a skeleton, that burden is removed.
