I see three possible problems with a source-only distribution: the user not having an appropriate compiler, the user not wanting to wait for a compile, and the shock to the user at having to compile at all. With Java, having a appropriate compiler is not usually a problem. Only a binary distribution can solve the compile-wait time. We can have progress toward a binary distribution if we disentangle building jars from configuring webapps, like Ralph suggests. Your suggested build target could help with the "I have to configure and compile?" shock, especially if we hid it in a script named "configure". > >>Also, are there other config issues can be agreed on for this > >>target/recommended setting?

I'd strongly suggest WARN or ERROR. Lets pick one. Would WARN be appropriate? --Tim Larson __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier.
