Running samples from a binary release in source mode

[sdm]

I tried to run the Kauri samples (from a daily build) in source mode (with the -s option), but this gives errors: ..\..\bin\kauri.bat -s module-source-locations.properties

Running the samples without the -s option works fine.

I attached the errors when running kauri-forms-sample en kauri-representationbuilder-sample, but similar errors occured for some other samples as well.

A list of samples that do work in source mode: kauri-dbresources-sample, kauri-i18n-sample, kauri-security-sample, kauri-template-sample

First remark to make: these errors occur when using the binary (or daily) build, not when using the svn checkout.

In those binary builds the "Source" of the referenced source modules is just not there.

I suggest we at least document this in the samples-readme and maybe seek into removing these properties files during the distro build. (or generate simplistic ones that do work?)

other ideas?

Sudden idea: we might change the kauri-runtime to be more resilient: Only WARN about sources for modules not being present and falling back to their packaged representations.
