Steve,

Okay, I think we're just about ready to try something with WebCAT. We've got a Windows 2000 box configured (since that's your deployment we saw that as the path of least resistance). I've got the following installed:

  1. Java 5 SDK Update 2
  2. Tomcat 5.5.9 (Runs on Java 5)
  3. MySQL 4.1.11
  4. Ant 1.6.2
  5. PMD 3.0 (supports Java 5)
  6. Checkstyle 4.0 beta 1 (supports Java 5)
  7. Clover 1.3.6 (supports Java 5, waiting for license key)
  8. ActivePerl 5.005_03 (this is old, but our IT folks use it)

We've ordered WebObjects, but haven't received it yet. Anything else I should get whilst waiting for WO? Is the Perl version (it dates to 1999) sufficient?

Thanks,

Excellent. Yes, that should work.

Don't worry about it--that part should be relatively painless, and I can take care of that.

OK, I'll put it on my list to start up some kind of "first remote install" log on the wiki, together with a feature request page.
