First comments from a newbee

I have downloaded Krysalis-Version last week, and here are some questions and comments on
 (in realtive arbitrary order) :
    - the download link (under "Community") was difficult to find for me
    - what tool to read the XML documentation ? (I guess it's Forrest which
need Cocoon ...). An HTML version with the binary package could be friendly.
    - VersionTool said it use a file d:\version.constraints which don't
exists. I found this file int src/main but modifications have no effect on
VersionTool. After some time and tries, it seems that VersionTool uses the version.constraints of the jar file. Is it the only way ? What if no jar file ?
    - "VersionTool" -c says that it don't find the version of
org.apache.commons.logging with the jar file in classpath and version
information in the manifest file. The source file "Resolver.java" seems
strange :
=================================
 public VersionInformation resolve(
  AnnotationScratchpad pad,
  VersionIdentifier identifier)
  throws VersionException {

  VersionInformation candidateInfo = null;

  VersionLoadContext loadContext = m_stampLoader.load(pad, identifier);

  if (null == loadContext)
   m_packageLoader.load(pad, identifier);
=================================
    last line seems to be better with : "loadContext = m_packageLoader.load(pad, identifier);"

Well, nothing change, because package information in PackageVersionLoader is loaded trought Package.getPackage() which return "null" if the package was not already in use by one classe.
(I wonder if  I have not see something about this problem somewhere in the Krysalis site...).

Right now, constraints management without modification of packages (if possible) is my first interest for Krysalis-Version.
