This is a server bug, which we're looking into. Thanks for sending the
log file.

For development/testing, it's as simple as:

 dropdb omero
 createdb omero
 createlang plpgsql omero
 psql omero < OMERO4__0.sql

(with the proper additions of -O and -U for handling database
ownership). There's no reason to drop the database user, or really
even to delete the /OMERO/ directory unless you want to save
space. Again, for development only.

That is the appropriate link, but a recent upgrade of hudson may have
left the javadoc plugin broken. I'll try to track down what's wrong,
and then send another email.

By the way, if you are looking for the 4.0 javadoc, please see:

  http://hudson.openmicroscopy.org.uk/job/OMERO-Beta4.0/javadoc/

once the plugin is fixed. "OMERO/javadoc" is built from trunk and so
may vary somewhat.
