actually, the location is configurable using an ant property, but hasn't 
been configured.

Anyway, don't worry about it too much. None of the other projects 
participating in gump currently depend on the jicarilla ones, so its 
success or failure is not /that/ important.

I wanted to see what happened. This:
----
Buildfile: build.xml
  [property] dropping 
/data3/gump/jicarilla-sandbox/platform/components/collections/target/classes 
from path as it doesn't exist
  [property] dropping 
/data3/gump/jicarilla-sandbox/platform/components/collections/target/test-classes 
from path as it doesn't exist

BUILD FAILED

which seems appropriate. I've now changed these projects to depend on 
this one:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/jicarilla/jicarilla-sandbox/platform/gump/gump-jicarilla-build-system.xml?content-type=text%2Fplain&rev=1.1

which is supposed to install and update the ~/.jbs directory each night. 
Just to see if this'll work well.

The next step might be to figure out if gump makes something like 
@@GUMP_HOME@@ available (I don't think so), and perhaps use 
@@GUMP_HOME@@/work/.jbs as the base directory if possible.

Another option will be to make .jbs a required installed package (just 
like we're doing with tools like forrest atm. But I think that one is 
inferior because it doesn't quite mirror how the jicarilla build 
actually is used.
