DSpace Install

After the Postgres install "issues", the DSpace install was relatively straightforward. I just followed the instructions found here:

http://dspace.org/technology/system-docs

and it worked!

Although we may need to modify the DSpace source code in order to plug in Xena, and so I wanted to add DSpace as a project to Eclipse. This didn't work all that well the first time due to problems with permissions. It seems the best idea is to do everything using the (system) dspace user - including logging in to the desktop as dspace - and all the problems just go away. I installed a tomcat plugin for Eclipse so now source modification, compilation, deployment, and starting and stopping the tomcat server can be done from within Eclipse.
