What it entails is really getting Sam to talk more about what he has been working on for the last few weeks. He has been developing this system... It is tinderbox/build system and it is currently using XSLT on the back end to produce the scripts which get run in order to produce the output you see at the URL above. The advantage of this system is quite obvious... This will eventually lead to a CJAN system where we can have build scripts that auto deal with including the right .jar files as needed into your build system...much like CPAN is to Perl...we are working towards a CJAN for Java with the added benefit of also having a nightly tinderbox/build system. I think that this is going to be a huge step forward for the Java community in general so I just want to discuss it a bit more in a higher bandwidth environment. thanks, -jon
