Matt,
Just to get you up and running, you can download Dart 0.6 from http://na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/Dart2Summary This is a little out of date, but forward compatible with Dart 1.0. I wanted to tag a 0.8 today (0.7 was internal) but we are in the midst of some invasive changes and things are not stable.
The only requirement for the client is to send properly formatted XML to the Dart Server using XML-RPC (SOAP is _incredibly_ overweight). The key is "properly formatted"... At the moment, there are three instantiations of the Dart client, one is for Java only, and is documented in the Dart.pdf in the Cruise Control section, the old "Dart Classic" client written in TCL, and ctest which comes as part of the CMake checkout (http://www.cmake.org). I'm not completely up on the details of using the ctest tool, but I suspect it will be the most useful for you. Basically, you need to tell ctest how to build your source ("make -i" generally), and how to run your tests. Then ctest kicks off, builds, runs tests and submits to the Dart server. There should be some good pointers in the Dart.pdf. And I'll add a link to the semi official homepage, which might have helped you out... my bad. All of the clients are cross platform (Win, Linux, BSD, Mac OSX, SGI, Sun, etc...).
I suspect ignorance of Java is bliss... Many undergrads don't get anything but Java, to their detriment. Nothing is more satisfying than pointer arithmetic in C++... Ok, almost nothing... 8)

I'm happy to take the "pre-built" DartServer.jar for now, and maybe for the
foreseeable future. How do we proceed with this? Where can I get it? I
think I may still want to run the self/unit tests on it, nonetheless (and
your debugging tips will probably come in handy here), if possible.
Additionally, client-side construction will be the next task. I haven't
read up on that yet, but I assume that can be found somewhere in
<http://svn.na-mic.org:8000/svn/Dart/trunk/Dart.pdf>?
I'm still a little fuzzy on what exactly the client is and what it depends
upon. I suspect there's some SOAP/XML-RPC based protocol going on from
client to server, and the client can be constructed however one desires so
long as it implements said protocol? Are there multiple clients? Are they
all Java based? Are they pre-packaged? Which platforms, if so?
I suspect many if not all of these questions are address somewhere...I just
haven't found that somewhere yet. Care to point me in a good direction?
Also, I'd be inclined to say Java is a good way to go for
Dart. Development in Java (it's conterpart, .NET and related things like
Mono) goes faster, and as you noted, you can create more features in less time.
It's us poor, ignorant Java users that have problems, but we can get over
that. :) I'll be trying out your ant debugging suggestions soon...unless
I just bypass it and use your server .jar without running any of the unit
tests.
