I appologize for the cornerstone build fiasco

[Berin Loritsch <bl...@apache.org>]

I was trying to convert the build process to the
standard targets, and simplify some stuff as well.
I am always a fan of trying to speed up development
and introduced the <parallel> tag to speed up the
apps development.  It appears that there are differences
in the tools for Java between Unix and Windows that
preclude concurrent compiling.  Each app _should_
be able to independantly be built--but it seems this
is a tool problem.

Hopefully, Cornerstone has the most complex build system,
so the others should be easy compared to this.

Paul asked about individual app deployment targets
(specifically jesktop-deploy).  I would rather see
a pair of targets like this:

${app.name}-install
${app.name}-uninstall

That way we can install and uninstall the individual
apps--and the naming is consistent.

What do you think?

We could do that or we could just insist that the user go

$ cd app/myapp 
$ ant install

or maybe

ant -Dinstall.appname=true install

No probs, nobody noticed really - just Peter (and he's probably gone 
clubbing by now ;-).

How about "build app-name target-name"

It would involve special processing for %1 and %2 but would mean that 
all the targets available in the apps build file could be invoked.  I 
know it's possible because I've done it in a previous job.
