May be we should make the lack of j2ee.jar (and the fact that the mocks
j2ee mocks won't be built) more obvious but the build should not fail as
the j2ee mocks are optional.

Not totally sure what the j2ee license is, but as far as I know it's not
like other sun jars it's not freely distributable. Also since there are
different version of the j2ee api there is no single version of the jar
to include.

The pythong script is just a convinentent wrapped around the ant build
script which allows me to test the build against different combinations
of JDK and J2EE. If you know of a way to do this in
ant/maven/gump/whatever and are willing to replace the python script I'd
be happy to include it. Normal build process is just to type "ant" ;)
