Re: Evaluating Slide

Hello Andrey,

if you are evaluating Slide, you may want to try your luck downloading
the source code from Subversion and building slide yourself.
It is easy, the sources come with a build.xml and the libs, all you need
to do is type "ant" or most probably "ant webapp-dist" "ant
webapp-jaas-dist" to create a distribution with Jaas authentication.

There are a lot of improvements and bugs fixed in the codebase since 2.1.

I have never tried to use Slide with Java 6, I do not know whether it
works. I have compiled and run successfully with Java 5 and Tomcat as a
backend.

Best regards,
Antoine
