Clarify installation for Growl

[jcgay]

I was using Growl for Windows too when I start writing maven-notifier :)

I have just added a new JGNTP listener to log errors with Maven when notification system fails (I don't remember why I have wrote one using SLF4J by the time, but it was stupid...).

So now when I misconfigure Growl I get:

> mvn test
[ERROR] Growl Registration error: NOT_AUTHORIZED - Missing key hash
[INFO] Scanning for projects...

I think you could have find your configuration problem faster with this error ?

Maybe I will add wiki pages with detailed screenshots of Growl and Snarl configuration to receive notifications, it may help.

Writing a tool to test notifier configuration should be doable, trying to automatically explain the error log can be trickier, I'll keep that in mind !

Thanks for the report.

The logger would be a great way to obtain easily configuration errors.
In fact, using maven-like way, you could redirect user to a wiki page when an error is displayed. This way, we could populate that wiki lazily ...

yeah great idea ! I'll add wiki URLs in the error messages logged.

Thanks
