I then received a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space error, setting MAVEN_OPTS="-XX:MaxPermSize=128m" seems to have fixed this and I have now built sucessfully. Thankyou for your suggestions!

Hi Steve,

I Googled around it a little but could not find anything obvious.
what i did found is this -

http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t136593-understanding-error-java-returned-137-a.html

"If you use Unix/Linux:
Exit-code above 128 means that the process died because of a received
signal (exitCode = 128 + signalNumber).
==> In your case it was signal 9 (= SIGKILL)."

Not sure it can give you a lead but the next step i would try is
compiling without the UI -

$OVIRT_HOME> mvn install -DskipTests=true
