+1; we'll also need the same sort of thing for the daemons. Regardless of whether or not jars are checked in, something like this is a must. A last Hudson-approved maven target would be very useful, too, especially for folks wishing to depend on a bleeding edge but not bloody version. But there's no need that those built binaries need to go into the same repository as the source: Hudson could manage them in a separate repository (or even directory structure). -- Philip
