  I suspect the feeling is that if you are competent enough to code in 
Java then you are competent enough to set up a build environment.  I 
believe that most people use Eclipse as their IDE.   Myself?  I still 
use 'vi' and then 'ant' to build everything -- this is either from my 
Mac and Linux machines.    But then I am not making many modifications 
to the code but rather trying to create new game titles via small changes.

   Now what is missing is an overall view of what the various files do 
and what helper programs have been created.  I was working on such a 
document but, alas, despite the winter weather I have not had time to 
follow through on said document.

   Of course if you see a need for a FAQ then by all means create one 
and submit it.
