The procedure in that wiki page worked with a previous version of JBoss
AS7, it is not up to date, as you discovered. I am preparing an updated
version of that page here:

http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Building_Engine_Draft

I would appreciate if you can check and maybe amend it. Then, if there
are no objections, we could maybe replace the existing page with this one.
