Cool! :-)

Ah, very well, thanks.

nullPointer? Hmmm, the ant task that the descriptor calls is "gump", so I
thought that it would call *that* target, but I guess that adding the build
script to the equation invalidates any target description, right?
Since the build script simply sets up the classpath, I guess it's best to
remove it ATM.
Could this get it working again?

Cool again! Gee, I'm starting to enjoy this stuff ;-)
Ok then, what do you think if I do the opposite and add my tags to the Gump
descriptor? Would Gump still love it?
Since IMV this project descriptor is gonna be used by Forrest too, doing it
this way is a first step on a single project descriptor format, like a
modern STATUS file.
