Hello, I've a quick question. I have Java's jre 1.5 on my machines and 0.6 worked fine, when I went to build 0.7 though, I couldn't get it to work until I installed jdk 1.5. I assume this because I am using a dev version and building? The docs (FAQ and the SVN docs) only say that it requires Java 1.4 with no indication as to whether the jre or jdk is desired. Will the released version of 0.7 work with the jre?

Me too, exactly. I started to download the JDK and balked at the size / amount of disk space required. I would like to try Eclipse, which seems to only need a JRE. Will I be able to build Forrest with Eclipse+JRE if I don't install the JDK? How soon will pre-built distributions of 0.7 be available?
