Overall this seems OK. A few thoughts/questions: - It might be nice to explain why we changed the approach. - Why would someone install into an existing AS7? Is there a benefit? Would a non-dedicated RHQ server be recommended? - A simple install requires only a few settings:
Minimally, if the user really has to edit the properties file, those few settings should be grouped together at the top and well documented in the file. We may want different sections for different DB vendors, with all the typical presets (maybe it's like this already, I haven't looked).
But I'd rather see interactive command line scripts that walk users through simple installs, perhaps one for new server and one for upgrade. Scripts that perform the various helpful things that the GUI used to do.

I have documented the new way we plan on being able to install the RHQ Server in a design document here:
https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/RHQ/Installing+RHQ+on+JBossAS+7
The page is rather short and to the point because I wanted to avoid giving too much implementation detail. This only provides the installation steps that should be necessary to install the latest RHQ (this is not yet in master branch - but it will be shortly).
If anyone has any comments, concerns or sees any problems with this approach, post to this thread for discussion. _______________________________________________ rhq-users mailing list rhq-users@lists.fedorahosted.org https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/rhq-users
