James, David, We were planning to do a binary distribution. However, it turns out that it's a lot of work to get all the jars certified in a way required by Apache. So, we went with a source-only distribution. We fully understand that this is going to be inconvenient for some users. If people have better ideas of doing distribution, we'd like to hear them.
