I installed 1.5.0, and while it does seem faster (shaved 10 seconds off of my
jboss start time), it doesn't compile my project for other reasons.  looks like
the API has changed quite a bit, or something.  Anyway, the project I'm working
on might need to make alot of changes to work with the 1.5 API/VM it looks
like.
Any other ideas?
