After further digging I came to conclusion that old 2.0.x version of Maven in the Jpackage free/devel repos for EL had to be the source of what was causing the build failure (must be some incompatibility there). I bootstrapped a clean EL6 build env and installed Maven 3.0.3 by hand. This seems to have done the trick and now I get a successful build. I would suggest an update of the wiki pages for building the ovirt-engine that state Maven 3.x does not work and to use Maven 2.x. I volunteer as well to contribute to the wiki the information on what I did to get the engine to build on EL6. What I did on scientific linux should also work on CentOS and other derivitives. regards, Chris Brown
