Firstly, I'd just like to apologise to Kurt there. After looking at my last post I can see that it's tone is not as intended. Poor form on my behalf - sorry Kurt :$
I'm not sure of all the issues on this other than what's been flying around in emails over the past while. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think there's anything in JIRA.
The issues that I'm aware of are:
1. Intermittent issues with the direction of slashes in some of the resource paths. Not sure which ones??
2. Relative path issues caused by the fact that the download dist has a different directory structure to that checked out from SVN. The script assumes the SVN structure.
I may be wrong, but my guess is that these issues should not be to difficult to put right, once we nail them down precisely.

So precisely what do you think this discussion is all about?! It is about the best way to address the issues I have raised. I find it's always a good idea to know what the problem is and have a solution (or two) before trying to fix it!

Caching the information from previous runs (either by the script or by simply asking the user to edit the loanbroker.properties file before running the script) is useful in achieving this. If you think that the script is doing much more then we do need to ensure that any changes don't look like one step forward and 2 steps backwards.
Caching the info would not be a hard thing to do.

Just be aware that that "wizzard" is doing a little more than simply taking input from the user. That script is working out some of the relative paths for the user, which I can't see anyone reasonably arguing against. I'd think it would be better to iron out whatever issues we have with slashes etc They can't be that difficult to fix + add the "use last config settings" options too.
Example properties files etc are great for people that know their way around whatever it is you're configuring (i.e. us), but they're not all that great for people that don't know their way around.
Suppose all I'm saying is... think before throwing out the baby with the bath water :-)
