fully agree! hudson is a super great piece of software. => easy to use is key!

however, another question is time.
- how long does it take to get a java compiler up and running with all the featuresand tests? - what about these patches from David? => have a solution very quickly and simple

please remember C and C++ is avaiable on any platform and the compiler can be compiled without dependencies.

So what's the compilers mission?
-  just create the files
-  do things like hudson does

my favorite is Hudson.  *that* is how Java applications are assembled
and distributed properly.

(for those who haven't set up Hudson: you download a hudson.war file.
then you can decide if you are in a particularly masochistic mood and
set up a Java web server and wrestle it into accepting the WAR file OR
you can just run it from the command line with:

    java -jar hudson.war

and it just does what it is supposed to with no dangly bits (external
dependencies) hanging off to the side.  beautiful)
