No problem. Good to have a reference to follow.

I have one more question, part of the never-ending saga of javahelp
(*). I'd like to use a custom pom.xml file to build the javahelp
sources since the existing build.xml downloads some zips for classes
that we can get through maven. Do you have a preference about where I
check in that file? Since I'm adding a javahelp.xml file to the source-
build dir, I could add the pom as javahelp-pom.xml at the same level
(it will be copied to somewhere under 'external' at build time).

Thanks,
Bobby

(*) It's gonna get worse before it gets better. Javahelp has a
dependency on jdic which requires C++ compilers, make, etc., depending
on the platform. Will see if I can work around that since I certainly
can't test it (on Mac).
