Re: [Webwork-devel] loading log4j.properties

[Matt B. <ma...@sm...>]

I could see how a bare bones project structure would be helpful for newbies
to WW and web apps in general. What if we provided a bare bones sample
project that would be part of the "dist" target. So as part of the
distribution, this project structure would be built and moved under the
example folder; i.e., example/projects/webapp. Do you think this would work?
I guess one concern would be do we provide a sample bare bones project for
JSP, Velocity, etc. or do we let them work this out for themselves using the
examples and the documentation?
