The build scripts include the contents of grouper/dist/lib on the classpath 
and should cope with Grouper-lib.jar or the individual jar files that are 
used to make Grouper-lib.jar. Did the ant script actually fail? If so I'd 
be interested to see the error output.

The Grouper API distribution expects to connect directly to a database file 
in dist/run - configured in hibernate.properties and sources.xml. The 
grouper-ui build script copies those files to the WEB-INF/classes directory 
where the relative paths are no longer correct. You can make the paths 
absolute and rebuild the UI and that should work.

When using the UI it is best to run HSQLDB as a server and connect via a 
socket - this allows you to run the API against the same database, and 
allows you to run the database manager app - only one connection to a file 
is  possible at a time. grouper-qs is configured to connect to a server - 
which can be run using the grouper-qs/build.xml:db target

The database that is built from the API distribution is not the QuickStart 
database, so it has minimal content, though it will contain a GrouperSystem 
subject.

As far as I am aware others have been able to run the QuickStart. It may be 
that something isn't clear in the instructions. In any case, if you still 
have problems you can send me your grouper-qs set up with your 
configuration changes and I'll take a look at it.
