Does this mean that you can set up a source code area that
is compilable to a platform-neutral format such as Java Byte Codes,
and then allow any host to do check-ins and check-outs and building
of semantic trees. The RCI could then be used as a generic
compilation model to be used across many platforms.
Thanks, the RCI seems a bit complex but is probably the
missing piece that explains the Apex approach.
