There is a good raft of tools available to community developers for communication, bug-tracking and support.

Sadly the allegedly complete jre created from the selfcontained-jdk was anything but complete: I finally got to test it out on darwin and it failed immediately. The ant-log-reset-restart-with.sh script was stuck somewhere trying to start solr and the prompt never returned. The jre created from selfcontained-jdk is further 70MB versus 230MB for the downloaded one. And several files are different.
