I was actually going to ask - could we take the build instructions into the
user guide - and version them with each release of GeoTools?
That way we could run with *just* a "latest" developers guide reflecting our
procedures as a project. And it would make it less crazy to update as each
change to the developers guide basically needs a vote.
Your request to have a "simple build", followed by "magical build variations"
is a good one. Splitting up the two would be a good idea.

Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
Installation's a snap, and flexible recovery options mean your data is safe,
secure and there when you need it. Data protection magic?
Nope - It's vRanger. Get your free trial download today.
