Agreed, we (of course) shouldn't need a build tool (ant, maven, whatever) to run a binary release.

I wasn't sure what you meant by "get rid of" src/conf, and I think I'll understand that as "remove src/conf from the build process" :)

I also thought maybe you were suggesting colocating ldappc and grouper conf directories, maybe even signet. I'll admit to not being a grouper-expert, but I have spent some time there, and I often become confused running grouper+ui+ldappc and making sure all the various configs are correct and consistent when working with different test setups, database backends, and code versions. I'm not sure what magic can correct my confusion, though.

It would be nice to relocate the hsql configs (server.properties, sqltool.rc) out of the way, maybe to a 'quickstart' or 'test' directory.

Btw, it's a less valuable binary release if we have to search and replace config files, right?  Would be better if they were just ready…

I was hoping we could just get rid of that process, and for things that did need replacing, finding workarounds.  Like for absolute paths in files, just use relative paths.  It will work for logs, but will this work for the hsqldb url?  Anything else in there that is replaced that prevents us from getting rid of it?

- config resources should be like ldappc (maven) in the "conf" dir, or the resources dir for that src listing, e.g. src/main/resources.  Note, is "conf" a maven standard, why is conf != resources

- there are too many config files out there, lets get rid of the Grouper src/conf config files, and not have build process which substitutes stuff.  Too many things to keep up to date 

Do you have a proposal for replacing the src/conf configs ? What do you have in mind  ?
