No you arent but i think some care needs to be added for new comers and 
people who arent java people but flash people trying to implement it. Id 
like to help you create a better howto, in fact where is it man ? We 
should add stuff to the trac wiki and/or red5 blog at least. Give me a 
login and i can start !

Hmm its not the java technology as such, well Java5 has alot of stuff im 
finding appearing in the code so yeh learning the new bits as im going 
:) Its more to do with the red5 code itself or the technologies used 
within that (spring, log4j, jetty) and how everything is glued together 
and configured.

Red5 configs within the conf directory and various examples configs how 
to setup other servlets, application servers in the future if you know 
what i mean ? Ie you meantioned in a different thread how to setup 
different caching, as i said im using the default configs until i work 
out how to configure stuff myself so better example configs on setting 
up caching or how to setup another caching system or links to the 
various settings would be nice.

I didnt mean application configs if thats what you mean.

Neither, maybe that was an over statement, maybe  "experienced at" is a 
better word :P

I'll get to the config part very shortly, as i like messing with 
settings to optimise anything and then maybe document stuff, but there 
is still unresolved issues in the red5 code itself, ive actually dug 
into alot of it to help resolve problems already so thats a priority. 
Next will be customising settings in the configs and the big one is 
customising logs and seperating the root spring/red5 messages for each 
application, as it will end up going to the last or first listener setup 
within an app very dodgy.

Ill check it out, however how to i set it up to start on boot and run in 
the background ? I guess it needs to be added into the services console ?

Ahh like a flash admin console to collect the logging in there like FMS 
? Ive built quite a few flex apps atm, i could look into it just 
finishing setting up my new server and getting it stored in a data 
centre at the moment takes some time :\

ok each time you make a change just run ant jar or whatever , it gets 
added to the webapp lib directory and then ie on windows run the 
standalone red5 found in red5.bat ?

a red5 specific plugin would be kiilla, i looked at eclipse plugins a 
while back still yet to actually make one.
