Re: war file

Use:
ant -projecthelp

that will show you all the targets.  Notice the one second from the bottom 
in the output of "-projecthelp":

"war                   Build .war archive of the Barracuda package"

Just type:
ant war

You'll find the .war file in:
Barracuda/WEB-INF/tmp$/Barracuda.war


Note that you can also do:
ant  catalina-install

That makes development a lot easier.  It will install your app to Tomcat 
from whever the build currently is on your machine.  You just have to do a 
couple things.

1.  make sure you add a user to the CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml 
file which has the role of "manager" such as...

<user user="manager" password="simpsons" roles="manager,admin"/>

Make sure you restart Tomcat after adding this.

2.  The Barracuda/src/build.properties file has manager.username=manager 
and manager.password=simpsons as defaults.  So, with the above, you should 
be all set.  However, if you want to use a different username and password, 
you can create a ${user.home}/.build.properties file.  The contents of that 
file will override Barracuda's default build.properties file.  Here's the 
contents my mine...

build.compiler=jikes
build.debug=on
build.deprecation=off
build.optimize=on
build.verbose=off
manager.username=mymanageruser
manager.password=crazyhardtoguesspassword

Note that you'll have to create the ".build.properties" file via the 
command line on Windows since the Windows GUI doesn't allow you to create a 
file which starts with a non-alphanumeric character such as a period which 
is required here.

Also note the path to my .build.properties file (just for reference) is....
C:\Documents and Settings\jacobk\.build.properties


Now just make sure Tomcat is started and do:

to install the Barracuda app...
ant catalina-install

to remove the Barracuda app (do below or just restart Tomcat)...
ant catalina-remove


Note that this way of deploying Barracuda will not be persisted across 
Tomcat restarts.  If you want things to persist, do...

ant catalina-deploy and catalina-undeploy

be careful with that, though, because it will rewrite your server.xml so 
you'll lose the nice formatting there and since the app will be deployed as 
a .war file, logging to file within the WEB-INF/logs path will not work 
since there is no file system access to the webapp.

Let me know if you have questions.  Oh, and I wrote a doc that partially 
covers this which you can view at barracudamvc.org...
