Just to clarify regarding the the continuous builds:
There is an auto-build running for BioJava at http://www.spice-3d.org/ 
cruise/

A build is triggered ~40 minutes after a CVS commit as well as  
regularly every night.
The following things happen every build:

* all junit tests are run (see http://www.spice-3d.org/cruise/ 
buildresults/biojava-live?tab=testResults )
* the latest javadoc is created ( http://www.spice-3d.org/public- 
files/javadoc/biojava/ )
* provide a biojava.jar file for download
* provide a biojava-src.jar (source code bundle).

if the build fails (i.e. somebody committed broken code to CVS) this  
mailing list will be notified. Actually this is untested so far
since CVS has been fine in the last few weeks :-)

I set this up on my own machine, since I don't have admin rights on  
open-bio, but if people would prefer to have it running from
there, it should be fairly simple to move the setup.
