Installs should be hudson-simple

Idly musing about the causes for Google Wave to reach the place it did, it stuck me that its new incarnation - the yet-to-be-unveiled "Apache Wave in a Box" - should be dead simple to install if it has any hope of adoption.

My gold standard for java apps that are dead simple to install? Hudson or now Jenkins.It should be as simple as downloading a jar and running it. Everything else should flow from there - including updates.
