Hi,

An issue just come up on the incubator general list about nightly builds. [1]

The installer lets you download the nightly build, and while convenient it 
looks like it's actually against Apache release guidelines [2]:
"If the general public is being instructed to download a package, then that 
package has been released. Each PMC must obey the ASF requirements on approving 
any release."
and
" Do not include any links on the project website that might encourage 
non-developers to download and use nightly builds, snapshots, release 
candidates, or any other similar package."

We probably need to remove that from the installer. Perhaps an alternative is  
it only show via a command line flag or "I am a SDK developer" check box with a 
big disclaimer about it not being an official release etc etc
