David, Thanks for your patience and testing, I have fixed the source download for 4.0 so that it includes everything that it should include. You should be able to build like so:
1) Download one of the source releases from here: http://people.apache.org/~snoopdave/apache-roller-4.0-rc5/ 2) Unzip into a directory with no spaces 3) Download mail.jar and activation.jar from Sun 4) Place mail.jar and activation.jar in tools/buildtime 5) Change dirs to Roller Weblogger dir 'cd apps/weblogger' 6) You might need to set ANT_OPTS=-Xmx512m 6) Run build 'ant dist' 7) Find build will be in build/webapp Oh, and I forgot to mention that Roller 4.0 requires Java 1.5. - Dave
