Alfresco 3.4 Installers

If you've installed an Alfresco 3.4 distribution, you may've noticed that unlike the previous versions, Alfresco doesn't offer anymore Tomcat bundles, only full-blown installers - which I personally hate.

However, it seems that using the new installers, you can still get a similar setup to the old Tomcat bundles. Have a look at http://richard.esplins.org/siwi/2011/01/12/automating-new-alfresco-installers for  a full description of how to achieve this.

Probably the next books will be about planning your life using Scrum. Funny how no one looks back at history and tries to learn from it.
