Les, you come from a heavy C/C++/make background eh? Env variables are
pretty common in make-land but almost unheard of in java-land.
To restate what Gavin just said as a hard requirement:
Anyone with Java and Ant installed on their system
must be able to check out the CVS tree and build
hibernate by running "ant". No other steps required.
That pretty much means jars go in CVS or get automatically downloaded
through some sort of maven-like system.
I tried to build Tomcat once. I got about halfway through it before I
gave up. Eventually I fixed the piece I needed by compiling just that
one class by hand and replacing it in the jar. Yeech. IMHO, the
hibernate make process currently quite pleasant.
