[Engine-devel] Build and run with Fedora 17 jboss-as packages

[Juan Hernandez]

First issue that you will find in your dev environment is that when you 
run "mvn install -Psetup" it will copy to your ${jbossHome}/modules 
directory some modules that will not work, as they are only needed with 
the jboss-as package in Fedora 17. In order to avoid that you need to 
apply this patch:
