Aheem... Don't shoot me, but I will test compiling jar's from source, 
and test it integrated in cooperation with Jessie 1.0.1...

Then the build.xml script should either be updated or removed. It still 
assumes that the sources are the primary stuff, hence you need 
indicating some parameters for ant:

$ ant -Dhave.jce=true -Dhave.jgss=true -Dhave.jaas=true -Dhave.sasl=true

However, I have just tested it in unison with Jessie, and it looks like 
it works... However, this is ofcourse a test of very little, I know - 
but it must be better than nothing :-)
