Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

The current quickstart requires you to have Java, Tomcat, Ant, and installs the API/quickstart/UI.

 

This installer requires you to have Java, and installs the API/quickstart/UI/WS/client.  It also lets you use a different database pretty easily.

 

Here is a movie which shows getting everything installed in a few minutes without doing anything technical.

Here is the doc:

It will work cross-platform.  Also, it uses existing packages and downloads them for you (grouper installer jar is only 1.5 megs), so we could have one of these for existing releases, e.g. 2.0.2 with no changes required in API/UI/etc

 

Right now it is a proof of concept, if you are interested in having us pursue this let us know, and also if there are other features we should include.

 

Thanks,

Chris
