[Engine-devel] Building ovirt engine instructions

[Allon Mureinik]

Also, if you're using Eclipse Juno, you want to take a look at this gerrit topic:
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/q/status:open+project:ovirt-engine+branch:master+topic:eclipse-juno-support,n,z

I found out the hard way Juno is a tad over-strict when it comes to parsing poms, and this may save you some trouble
