I have a few simple questions regarding my attempts to build Wicket from 
  source.

The distribution archive (wicket-1.2.tar.gz) has a nice README and has a 
build.xml in the top level directory.  This makes it very easy to 
rebuild wicket from the source included in the distribution.

However, I wanted to build from the latest source in the 1.2 branch in SVN.

When I check out the 1.2 branch from SVN, the "build.xml" is found under 
the "assembly" directory and all the paths are wrong to build directly 
using the directory structure in the checked out version.

What is the recommended tool (ant, maven, eclipse) for building Wicket 
from source from a raw checked out branch and is there a README 
somewhere that I missed for that?

On a related note, when I do rebuild from the source in the 
wicket-1.2.tar.gz, I receive the following warnings and errors:

> wicket-1.2/src/test/wicket/util/string/StringsTest.java:175: warning: 
> unmappable character for encoding UTF8
>     [javac]             // The escaped unicode is ����������

What locale/encoding do I need to specify to the compiler to avoid these 
unicode character warnings?

Then finally, the source build fails with the following:

>  Testcase: testBindAbsolutePackageResource took 0.016 sec
>     [junit] Testcase: testBindGlobPackageResource took 0.152 sec
>     [junit]     Caused an ERROR

All comments and/or advice are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Aaron
