Parts of the Tapestry demos are compiled using J2EE APIs (EJB, JDNI, Mail).
 

Thats fine provided you do not illegally distribute them.

Certain of the demos make use of an LGPL library for drawing charts and
graphs.
Thats not allowed presently.

As a convienience, Tapestry expects a JBoss installation to be present.
jboss.dir is the absolute path to the JBoss installation.
I regard this as a build usability issue.  I'm sure Dion will fix it.

My understanding of licenses is apparently suspect. Although I'm aware of
the problems even compiling against GPL, I had thought that LGPL is a
different beast.  Andrew C. Oliver has been making noises that not only can
I not have LGPL frameworks in CVS or as part of the distribution (those that
were in place have been removed, replaced with pointers on where to download
them from), but now there's a question of even compiling against such
frameworks.
 

Hehe...  Yes I'm the patron saint a against LGPL ;-)

Actually, this is present Apache policy.  You can't link to them at 
all.  Sorry.

the apparent jboss prereq?
       

Theoretically it no longer exists (howard's answer to my previous

with the licensing issues) ;-)
     

Here's what I get when I try to build:

Buildfile: build.xml

check-for-jboss-dir:

BUILD FAILED
file:///home/rubys/jakarta/jakarta-tapestry/build.xml:429: Property 
jboss.dir not specified in config/build.properties.

If somebody can correct line 429 in the build.xml (I suspect that the 
entire target should be removed), I will proceed onto the 
next issue and 
report back.
