I wasn't really going to respond to this since I didn't think there was any ambiguity in the requirements. But since it's come up... All of the other Apache java projects I've used can build from the distro source release. I don't see making cayenne build from the distro as an impossible task. If the svn checkout can build, then it should be a simple matter to copy that build tree into the distro. I will agree that's an ugly build system, but that's been the case ever since we switched to maven.
