I changed grouperJarAndConf to grouper

Right, this is the low-build dev env, you compile in eclipse, and you are all 
good.  If you install JavaRebel, then you do not need to restart tomcat very 
often.  I did add a "dist" target to build a war file for a non-dev 
deployment.

Done

Done, though the current API method searches in group name, not display name, 
we should add another api method for 1.5

Sounds good.  I would like to see some example requirements for UI 
customizations to see what the options for this sort of thing...  maybe there 
is a simpler way to do this...

Thanks!
