Hi Thomas,

It's not the size; it's the principle of adding binary files that people 
must execute in order to build from source (which I presume is what this 
jar is for).

I understand that people need to use binary builds of Ant or Maven in 
order to build, but nevertheless I'm not aware of any other projects 
that require binaries downloaded from the project to build the project. 
With binaries checked in, it would be all too easy to accidentally get 
in a state where the project can only be built using tools for which the 
source isn't available or working or doesn't quite correspond to the binary.

Where is the source used to generate this "build-tools.jar" file, and 
how is that compiled?

Regards,

Simon
