I worked 2 full days to get Red5 0.7.0 working with custom applications but I had no luck.

I couldn’t even get the tutorials written by Red5 developers working, it doesn’t have proper documentation either so it was a real nightmare.
So many other people have these problems too and there seem to be no answer to these problems.

So here is what I did, I installed Red5 0.6.2 and voila! it worked, all the tutorials worked and all the examples worked too!

I’m not a Java guru and I’m glad I’m not, it looks really huge and complicated, it doesn’t look fun to program in at all. I’m sure so many people like it very much but I really think even C is nicer than Java.
For example, to make an even “Hello World” Red5 application you have to make ~5 folders, 4 XML files, 1 Java class, compile your class, upload it to your server and restart Red5!!!

Update:
Funny, I kind of started liking Java
