Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Improve installer to include database setup

Vincent, I'm not sure if this is the email you were referring to.

For Curriki, I think as long as there is an easy (and constant) way to add the driver and configuration to the war via a script (such as unjar, copy files, jar) then this sounds fine to me. Right now this is how the xwiki.cfg, hibernate.cfg.xml, and web.xml files get added on our development system before giving to Sun's SJSAS for auto-deployment after each successful build.
