Mike Hearn 623389a156 Address comments from Miron and Andreas: 
- Make GetBlocksMessage/GetHeadersMessage implement toString/hashCode
- Minor comment/naming fixes
- > not >= for comparing fast catchup time to block header
- Return current time in Wallet.getEarliestKeyCreationTime() rather than throw an exception when there are no keys in the wallet.

README 

To get started, ensure you have the latest JDK installed, and download Maven from:

  http://maven.apache.org/

Then run "mvn clean package" to compile the software. You can also run "mvn site:site" to generate a website with
useful information like JavaDocs. The outputs are under the target/ directory.

Now ensure you're running a BitCoin node locally and run the example app:

  mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=com.google.bitcoin.examples.PingService

It will download the block chain and eventually print a BitCoin address. If you send coins to it,
you should get them back a few minutes later when a block is solved.

Note that if you connect to a node that is itself downloading the block chain, you will see very slow progress (1
block per second or less). Find a node that isn't heavily loaded to connect to.

If you get a SocketDisconnectedException, the node you've connected to has its max send buffer set to low
(unfortunately the default is too low). Connect to a node that has a bigger send buffer,
settable by passing -maxsendbuffer=25600 to the Bitcoin C++ software.

For the convenience of Eclipse users, you can copy dependency jars to target/dependency using:

    mvn dependency:copy-dependencies
