After logging into the provided environment, the failures seem to to be related
the use of Red Hat’s IcedTea Java 6 implementation.  It would be better to use
openjdk6 for your, as that’s what the implementation has been most tested upon.
Ideally, I would like to look into supporting as many open Java6
implementations as possible, but resources are somewhat constrained in just
moving things somewhat forward.  I will try to return to Red Hat Iced Tea
support when I have time.
