Nutch's top-level bulid.xml file's default target is "job",
and it build a zip file called nutch-0.8-dev.job.  

<project name="Nutch" default="job">
...
  <target name="job" depends="compile">
    <jar jarfile="${build.dir}/${final.name}.job">
      <zipfileset dir="${build.classes}"/>
      <zipfileset dir="${conf.dir}" excludes="*.template"/>
      <zipfileset dir="${lib.dir}" prefix="lib"
                  includes="**/*.jar" excludes="hadoop-*.jar"/>
      <zipfileset dir="${build.plugins}" prefix="plugins"/>
    </jar>
  </target>

I've heard of ".jar", ".war", and ".ear" files, but 
not ".job" files.  What is this? What (application servers?) 
are supposed to understand .job files? Is this part of 
the new J2EE spec?
