If it's intended to be run like ant/maven, then a jar I download and set <PROJECT>_HOME is fine. As I can't download jars for license reasons I except grabbing a zip and pulling the jar or structure out. Is there a nightly build available? [I don't mind building from cvs-source, it's just not the java-user way] It sounds easier to use than the xdocs already though :) Hen
