It's been changing 8-)

First it has been xdoclet, then it has been mx4j that couldn't work
with CVS HEAD of xdoclet (which still is an xdoclet problem, of
course), then it's been Tomcat 4 itself that used the wrong Jasper
branch (and I guess it'd still do if all prereqs were there), now it's
mx4j again ...

It builds fine - at least the jars.  The build failures occur during
documentation creation and don't affect any builds depending on
xdoclet right now.

But that doesn't take away anything from your point.

It depends on the interest in getting that project under Gump's
control, I guess.  If I was using xdoclet, I'd want to know that they
are changing their task interface in a backwards incompatible way.

Maybe it is not that good idea to make your nightly build system rely
on too many other projects, then.  It's probably rather easy to have
two project definitions, one that used installed packages and one that
uses the latest and most broken code 8-).
