Hi Jim,

Yes, the jars can be put on your classpath if you're running things from
the command-line, or put in your application server's "classpath" if
you're using one.

As for building the source, I haven't tried the source distribution file a
file so I don't know.  But for building it from from CVS, it wasn't bad
*once* I figured out what settings I needed for the .properties file.

Regards,
Daniel
