   - The Java Runtime (JRE) included with Greenstone 3 binaries is a 32 bit Java 7 runtime. This means that //if the Windows machine that you're recompiling the binary with the source component on is not 32 bit Java 7 too//, then you will need to do the following before compiling \\
      * rename ''packages\jre'' to something else, so that when Greenstone runs after compiling, it uses your system Java rather than the old 32 bit JRE v7.
-     * run ''ant distclean'' from the toplevel Greenstone installation folder, to clear all the older compile products created by compiling with 32 bit Java 7.
+     * run ''ant distclean'' from the toplevel Greenstone installation folder, to clear all the older compile products created by compiling with 32 bit Java 7.\\ If you see a failure message about being unable to delete a file called 'cp.jar', run ''del \path\to\cp.jar'' manually from the command line for the exact file path listed. Then re-run ''ant distclean''. There are several cp.jar files in different locations of the GS3 installation, any or all of which can cause this failure message. So keep repeating the cycle of re-running ''ant distclean'' then manually running ''del'' on any cp.jar file listed in any failure message, until the ''ant distclean'' step finally succeeds (so without failure messages). This issue may be due to Windows having filelocks on the ''cp.jar'' files.
      * you may also want to want to delete ''gli\jar'' and ''gli\classes\org'', if they exist, to clear up GLI before recompiling.
   - Finally, you can compile Greenstone 3. Still in your Greenstone installation folder, run ''ant install''.
-**Note for Windows 64 bit:**
+**Note if you want to use the bundled JRE for Windows 64 bit:**
 To run GLI after recompiling your binary on a 64 bit Windows machine, you need JDK 7 (or JRE 7) for 64 bit set up in your environment, since the JRE included with the Greenstone Windows binary is for 32 bit, as the Greenstone Windows binary itself is 32 bit. Otherwise, the problem seen when running the 64-bit recompiled GS3 server with the 32-bit JRE included in GS3 binaries is a tomcat error explaining the discrepancy between the two architectures.
