If you're just USING Wonder there is no reason to checkout the source from
the Git repo.  The source is already included in the binaries that are
available on jenkins, which make it available to be viewed in Eclipse,
debugged, and provides javadoc.  Going back to the other post about
installation problems - he had a lot of problem related to trying to get
the wonder source code - when there was probably no need to do so!  Unless
someone is planning to actual make changes to Wonder there is no need to
clone the repo with git.
