[axis2] trunk not building on Ubuntu

Hi I just like to know if on a Ubuntu 10.04 with jdk java-7-oracle,
maven-3.0.5, ant-1.8.4 should build and test error free?

At my site it is a nightmare!
I have built OpenJDK 8 on that Ubuntu system!

Then I used that built OpenJDK 8 for NetBeans 7.3

BUT I was unable to build axis2 latest trunk sources!

So I changed away from OpenJDK and installed a Java-7-Oracle jdk on my
Ubuntu 10.04
I took a terminal window, left of NetBeans 7.3, and re-tried to build
axis2 trunk again.
absolute no luck, it's a nightmare. 
it fails with surefire tests, 
so I started to <exclude> each one which did not run and made progress; 
but now at integration testing, there are just too many sure fire tests
not running. 
So I gave up and ask here.

Hence I just like to know if on a Ubuntu 10.04 with jdk java-7-oracle,
maven-3.0.5, ant-1.8.4 should build and test error free?
Did someone try this build?
What up building axis2 on Ubuntu - or is Ubuntu for the foxes, can I
give up this attempt?
