Any chance of getting this hooked into the ant build?

Also, tests and/or example code would be useful, although I can
certainly understand how it would be hard to test the client without a
working server...

Check in the code, he says. Give me an ant build, he says. Give me
tests, he says.  Good grief.... ;-)

Was just a little surprised when I ran 'svn up && ant -f
build/build.xml' and nothing happened ;-)

Great!  Looking forward to it.

Yeah, those are coming. Man you're picky ;-).  I rewrote the client
yesterday following my initial post and thus still have to go through
and rewrite my tests.  For now I've been testing the client against Mark
Nottingham's set of XMLHttpRequest caching tests[1]. The ant build will
be coming shortly.

p.s. don't expect much of the caching impl yet.  I'm pretty well certain
it's busted as is and will need lots of work to get right.  I really
hate the fact that there doesn't appear to be any Java language client
side cache implementations out there.
