I am working on cross-compile with Yocto project. So the java is built from
openjdk source.

$ java -version
java version "1.7.0"
JamVM version 2.0.0

ovirt-engine 3.5.x could be built successfully. But none of 3.6.x could be
built from 3.6.0.

The error occurs in

./backend/manager/modules/restapi/interface/definition/src/main/java/org/ovirt/engine/api/rsdl/RsdlManager.java

to deal with "/rsdl_metadata.yaml".

I tried to copy rsdl_metadata.yaml from 3.5.1.1 to cover the file in build
directory, but it stills to fail.

The build log is pasted at:

https://gist.github.com/parr0tr1ver/11760d866e6f40990e59c772cd6bca6f

I'll try to debug it by eclipse.

Thanks a lot.
