I've refined the build a bit to add a couple of things we need, and modified some of RVDB's preferences to match our own; there will probably be some more of this work to do. I've also written a tiny test site that we can use to quickly confirm that everything is working. And it is working! We now have what looks like a reliable build script that can be run any time. We should run it regularly (once a month?) and archive the builds, so that we have the potential to roll things back if a future build goes bad. Next steps:

• Archive this build.
• Add steps to the script for copying the build webapp to my local Tomcat, copying the test site into it, and running Tomcat.
• Add tests to the test site for accented characters (display, submission from forms, and submission through GET), to ensure that UTF-8 encoding is working.
• Test the new build with full working sites (Mariage and Moses). The latter is a good test of indexing and Lucene search with Unicode.
• Look at the Analyzer patch, and see if it works.
