Just something to be aware of - there once was a reason why we didn't have the build.{bat,sh} files set ANT_HOME to the dist directories. It seems under certain circumstances, the JVM would crash if a jar file in the CLASSPATH were modified during the course of execution. I believe that the solution we settled on was to have the bootstrap compile all of the core and place the results in the lib directory (which now would be build/lib), and use this directory in the scripts. Building using the scripts would not update the lib directory, but only the dist directory. This does not currently appear to be a problem with Sun JDK 1.3 on Win2K. But as I said, something to be aware of... - Sam Ruby
