Explaining source code management in layman's terms is non-trivial.
Explaining it in *any* terms is non-trivial! :)
If you want to evaluate the RC's, it might be easier to just download
the built packages as they're published/announced.
If you wan to stay on the bleeding edge, you could keep building the
way you have been, but you're building from the trunk, which could
conceivably have some features that will not be part of the 1.8.0
release.
It is possible to build from the 1.8.0-rc1 branch (with JTSDK, etc.)
but it's probably not worth the complexity, unless you're involved in
the release process somehow.....
