With the patch the build was successfull. I then went ahead and freed up 
some memory by stopping some applications and with that even the fill build 
tops out at about 90% memory usage so it seems that 8gb is enough after all 
but only barely.
With the patch memory usage topped out at 40% so this would definitely make 
a difference for people with smaller build systems.

The deployment works as well but when I start jboss I get the attached errors.

Also the build instructions talk about "<server>:<port>" to access the 
deployed services. I presume <server> is localhost but what port do I use 
to access the services?
