Hi Jim, Yes, the jars can be put on your classpath if you're running things from the command-line, or put in your application server's "classpath" if you're using one.
As for building the source, I haven't tried the source distribution file a file so I don't know. But for building it from from CVS, it wasn't bad *once* I figured out what settings I needed for the .properties file.
