Hello, So I did some build/deploy/functional testing tonight using the Web Beans RI alpha version. I downloaded and extracted JBoss 5.0.0.GA. I also downloaded webbeans-ri-distribution-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT and tried my best to follow the directions in the readme.txt files. There are a couple of things worth noting here (sorry if this has already been noted): 1) C:\temp\webbeans-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT\readme.txt states to "run ant install" but in fact I ran ant update. Here is the target for that out of the build.xml: <target name="update" depends="install-jboss-ejb3-update, install-webbeans.deployer" description="Update JBoss 5 for the Web Beans RI" /> 2) In C:\temp\webbeans-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT\examples\readme.txt it states run "ant -f ../build.xml install-jboss5 in the examples directory". When you do that you get "Buildfile: ..\build.xml does not exist!" Also, I was able to run "ant clean, deploy" in the numberguess folder and translator folder and deploy/run the apps successfully using Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-ea-b40). Good stuff! Any news for upcoming add'l example apps like booking, etc.?
