ArcSDE extension installation instructions might be confusing
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-2321
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2321
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.7.0-RC4
Reporter: Andrea Aime
Assignee: Gabriel Roldán
Fix For: 1.7.1
I have a report of a user that could not install SDE properly because of a possibly misunderstandable sentence in the arcsde-readme.txt file.
While it says that the extension jars have to be installed in web-inf/lib, it generically says that the SDE non redistributable jars have to be put "in the classpath".
Which is technically correct, but it makes users think that the classpath is something other than web-inf/lib (and if you're not a java developer, classpath means nothing to you).
Reword saying to put in WEB-INF/lib, those that know what they're doing still have the choice to put the jars in the tomcat share libs or in the jre.
