Hi Harri,

Understood. Agreed. It's also good to do it elsewhere for re-use with other installations. This class would have ended up in the server.jar which you don't really want to be passing around.

You left out "-f" in order to choose the file:

./build.py -f components/server/build.xml

but this would still take too long.

You actually don't need much. It even suffices to use "javac" and "jar" directly, though that requires to you to get your classpath set correctly.

Alternatively, the intention is that it's possible to move to a new directory and plugin into the build system. I've setup an example here: https://gist.github.com/2158254
