Re: [Dhis2-devs] DHIS-lite and check for Java

OK cool. I figured this problem must be well solved by now. Wrapping in a native executable sounds like a smart way to go (much like tcl distribution with starkits and tclkits). Saptarshi do you know is there a simple way to do this, preferably using maven, which doesn't necessarily involve anot
