[Building Sakai] BasicLTI Virtual Tool setup

[csev]

Stuart,

Did you look here:

https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/basiclti/trunk/basiclti-docs/resources/docs/

This is the documentation.   It tells you where to put the files, etc.

I tend to prefer not to edit the IMSBLTIportlet.xml in the war and recompile.   I like to put the file in the $sakai.home directory as described in the above docs.

That avoids a "patch" to do local configuration.
