I'm not "pushing" anybody to Gump. Call it a "pull" model if you like...

The ability to switch JVMs was a design point for Gump. Currently
unimplemented, but not difficult.

No problem.

Gump is modular. The individual "script" for tomcat can be found at:
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/gump/2001-02-13/source_jakarta-tomcat.html
You can click on the links to see how dependent projects are defined.
The actual, platform dependent, script is generated from that definition.
The nice thing about gump is that the results are posted for all to see.
This makes it easy to debug. I also do experiments on my ThinkPad, and
leave the official builds to a Linux box.

Getting this right has proven to be tricky for me. Ant builds were down
for weeks (perhaps even months) in the locus=>daedalus migration.
