Don't ask me how Buildr does it, but somehow... Probably just on the strength of Assaf's brilliance. The code shown in the quick_start.textile will download DBPool and auto-extract the JAR from the zipfile, installing it into the local repository. I actually copy/pasted that code from a buildfile I have used in the past which used exactly that functionality. It really works. Daniel
