Given this thread it'd be great if the posse could get Kelly O'Hair to talk about JMake:
http://blogs.sun.com/kto/entry/jmake_source_repository_formerly_called "This was formerly called the javamake utility from http://www.experimentalstuff.com/Technologies/JavaMake/index.html. This tool's functionality is analogous to the "smart checking" feature of Borland JBuilder or the dependency analysis feature of IBM Jikes. However, it is a command line tool that is not tied to any IDE, can be used with any Java compiler, and can run as a task in the popular Ant make system." It'd be interesting to hear about, esp. with the ties to JBuilder.
