The nulls are disturbing.  My guess is that it is because you removed
        the "<!-- Installed packages -->" section of the gump profile.  If so,
        gump should produce more meaningful error messages.

         <!-- installed packages -->
          <project name="tools" package="tools.jar"/>
          <project name="log4j" package="log4j/jars/log4j-1.2.6.jar"/>

I had commented out these two, but I put them back -- and get the same.

Does "gen" have any logging capabilities?

        Re: xml-xerces: update uses the modules name, build dependencies use the
        package name.  In many cases these are the same, but they need not be.
        In this case, xml-xerces contains xml-xerces1, and xml-xerces2 contains
        xml-xerces.  Yes, this is confusing.

Confusing, but I get it now -- thanks.

Ought I have both -- a belt and suspenders approach -- or try to work w/
just xml-xerces2?

        As far as your "personal gump" goes, the idea is that you should
        *either* build or install every dependency.  If you install it, it needs
        to have a line with package= in your profile, otherwise, you include a
        project definition which helps you build it.

Build: Is the "downside" of building bandwidth/disk/cpu and "upside" a
consistent set?
Install: Is the "downside" of installing the 'manual' effort (with ongoing
maintenance) and the "upside" not having to build?

I tend to think that the former seems more Gump-like.

        I hope this helps.

It did, thanks.
