+1 to compiling the examples as part of the tests. I think there needs to be a way to compile the examples without compiling the tests, though, because many users of Digester won't have junit.jar installed, and won't know what all the test output means. It would be great to have the tests actually verify that the examples work. Not sure how that could be done, though.
