Very good.

I see. BTW, I was hoping the Tomcat 6 will finally resolve the
OutOfMemory problem (PermGen space) that Enhydra is suffering from ever
since (it's actually a JDK bug, most probably) but it still happens
after several deploy/undeploys..

This sounds great. I'll try to remember such easy and clear explanation
but if you added it to the README.txt it would be even better (as I tend
to forget everything :-)

The README.txt says:
======================
To configure the enhydra distribution:

cd to '<enhydra_root>/multiserver/enhydra' directory and type in the
following command:

configure    (Windows)

./configure  (Linux)
======================

So no mention of -jdk.dir...

Also, few lines below where you explain how to prepare the
build.properties file you say:

"jdk.dir - the path to your installation of the Java Development Kit
(obligational if environment variable JAVA_HOME isn't (properly) defined)"

So basically the -jdk.dir is not documented as a requirement for correct
configuration.

Something as simple as the following patch would work:

Thanks for your great work on TAS/TDS.
