I have upgraded to ant-1.6.2 but I still get the build errors.  Because 
of the jEdit environment I am not sure what libraries are used etc.... I 
will play around a bit more with this.

I have scraped the html override of translations because:
- I did not want to have a hard coded list of supported languages.
- I  was not really using the html override for ginp pages only other 
pages on the Moth website.  Therefore I have a DougsHTMLTranslator  for 
these pages that are not part of the ginp project.
- You made a good point about others can contribute to the project 
easily by translating the properties files.

I have updated the documentation accordingly.  I think the translator 
works and is finished but it needs a bit more testing.

I got the new ginp built into my Moth Site.  I was missing this form the 
build compile target

    <copy todir="${build.home}/WEB-INF/classes">
        <fileset dir="src">
            <exclude name="**/*.java"/>
        </fileset>
    </copy>

I will update the Moth and My site next week when I am back on my Office 
LAN because at home I have a 44kbs modem that is really starting to get 
annoying.

I will continue repackaging the net.culnane.ginp to net.sf.ginp.  Then 
we should do some testing and tidying up ready for a release.  At the 
moment I only have one release which is the latest and best.  I do not 
have a unstable and stable.  I think this is OK but it may need to 
change in the future.

When 0.2 is released I think we should work on the next features.  I 
think your web interface for editing the config file is important, and 
so I hope you retain interest in the project.  We also should think 
carefully about the picture data xml DTD.  I have some ideas about this 
but it is important to get it right so I would of course welcome your 
feedback.

Is the documentation about HowTo build the ginp into your site OK?

All the best,

Doug
