Anthony Lander says package from the start. Well, I broke that rule again with with:Style so I've suffered all evening.

So here's my tips and hints with packaging. First step, don't package. Your first goal is to make a parcel that can be loaded in to a clean image, load its pre-req's and work!

Once you have one of those. Load it and the runtime packager in to a clean image and begin the runtime packager work.

Big trick coming up - don't let it auto-reduce out classes and methods for you in the later steps. It seems to remove a LOT of stuff you actually need. There's probably some way not to have this happen, but since I'm not going to be the guy packaging with:Style regularly, I'm not going to try an solve it :)

And there you have my hints.. it'll save you some heart ache.
