Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

Here is a quick start I put up a while ago, if anything is out of date, let 
me know.  I agree with Tom that the binary is easier to use.  Which Java and 
Tomcat are you using?  Something built in to the OS?  Or separately 
downloaded and installed?  Sometimes the built in ones don't work right and 
you need to download clean versions.

Thanks,

I thought we required java 6 to build grouper 1.5+, however, our
documentation isn't clear to me.

Try the Grouper API Binary Distribution (from
http://www.internet2.edu/grouper/software.html) to avoid compiling -
you'll need java 6 to run the command line utility gsh.sh.
