Well, in that case it sounds good. In principle I think the current 
explosion of small build tools is, eh, not so good.

On the other hand, most of these small build tools keep re-generating 
the very same stuff with identical result over and over again, since 
it's based on some not-very-often-changing source. I think it would be 
more efficient to check in the source code that these tools generate, 
and then have a special target "update-generated-sources" that will run 
these tools. This tool would only have to be run every now and then, and 
the generated java source code could be compiled with the normal code, 
making it possible to start java compilation directly when building the 
jdk target.
