+The build scripts depend on three environment variables, these values can either be set in the environment, you can tell your IDE to set them when running the script or as a last resort, you can edit common.xml and set them manually. Setting them manually is not recommended for projects with multiple participants or testing environments as the paths have to match.

-This file is per project or per extension, whatever the user sees fit, it includes the common.xml file and specifies which extensions to build. You can have one build file per extension or you can use one build file to build many extensions. I prefer having one build file for each extension named by the extension, so the build file for a helloworld component would be build_com_helloworld.xml or simply com_helloworld.xml.
