Great! (mutters) I can redirect the otuput
to a file, reload it, match it up with the code..
online compiler, hear we come!

D'uh! I'm having an attack of "the Stupid's"

....hmm. I can do without javadoc, that almost
seems redundant if I can pull the source code
straight from a zip/jar archive, format it, and
display it on the net.
I can replace jar, I have already managed to
write my own primitive 'jartool' using the
standard classes..
jarsigner would be _very_ handy,
but ..one step at a time.
