activiti alpha-2 demo.setup fails

[vardaru1]

it fails, because it could not find "${activiti.home}/webapps" directory.  Please make the necessary changes as follows:

   <target name="deploy.activiti.modeler.into.tomcat" unless="skip.deploy.activiti.modeler">
      <antcall target="internal.download.activiti.modeler" /> <!– Can't use depends for this, due to http://ant.apache.org/faq.html#stop-dependency-->
    <mkdir dir="${activiti.home}/apps/activiti-model-repository"/>
      <copy file="${activiti.home}/setup/files/webapps/activiti-modeler-${activiti.version}.war"
            tofile="${tomcat.home}/webapps/activiti-modeler.war"/>
   </target>

   <target name="internal.download.activiti.modeler" unless="is.activiti.modeler.available">
      <echo message="This could take a while. Set the 'skip.deploy.activiti.modeler' property in user.home/.activiti/build.properties to skip this step" />
     <get src="${activiti.modeler.download.url}" dest="${activiti.home}/setup/files/webapps/activiti-modeler-${activiti.version}.war"/>
   </target>

Yup, was indeed a bug, which we fixed  5 minutes after putting the zip online, but it took a few hours for Amazon to spread the update to all the download sites.
The version which is now online does not fail. Sorry for the inconvience.

The build script succeeds, but the 3 "webapp tools" pages are 404s.

Cancel that. Pilot error. Forgot I already had tomcat installed somewhere else.

If you have an idea…Thanks in advance.
