Hi,

With the recent announcement from Sun regarding J2SE snapshots

sorry, I'm missing the context. do you have a pointer?

, it occurred to me that it would be possible to create an ant task that could fetch the tarball from Sun's server, install it and potentially pass the path back to Gump. There are social and legal issues (such as how to handle licensing issues), but it is technically feasible (if a bit messy). Likewise, it would be possible to do something similar for previous releases, jikes, gcj and so on.

Not sure where to go with this - perhaps just an interesting observation.
