"Get the sources and load it directly in your IDE.  IMO that is stupid."

Honestly, that's always been the absolute *first* thing I do.  I'd argue that 
most contributing developers are interested in the src, first and foremost.  My 
intentions for working on the Eclipse generation was to make IDE setup as 
painless as possible.  Is it important to have a well-developed build process?  
Of course.  But it's also important to balance that with removing as many 
roadblocks as possible that might detract contributors.

Right, would not affect ORM anyway.

So when someone does something different than you they are stupid... 
nice :)
