Re: JDK development kit

Warren,

Yes, to build the driver from source you need ant, the driver source is
in the tarball, you need the jdk for the libraries, and the compiler

however: the easiest way is to just d/l the jar. Do yourself a favour
and use the dev jar, personally weighing the (in)stability vs. the bugs
I know exist in the stable jar. I would pick the dev jar. It's pretty
solid.
