    • Easy solution for Ant & Windows

      Hey Sky,

      I'm experiencing installation troubles too, a bit further. I think this project could benefit from a more detailed installation guide.

      If i find out how to install this, i may help providing this.

      Anyway i should be able to help with the ant step : i suggest you install winant (http://code.google.com/p/winant/). It does all the environment variable stuff for you.

      This way, if my understanding is correct, you should get a downloads folder containing several directories.

      I just don't know exactly what to do with these directories. I suppose it should be installed on the domino server, but i don't know where.

      If you find out, please let me know.

      Hope this helped.

      Luc
