Nice.

Let's start out with getting you building the source and running a
build and tests.

  https://community.jboss.org/wiki/ShrinkWrapDevelopmentAndContribution

Feel free to correct the poor formatting on that page; it appears some
things got mangled when they updated the CMS software again.

How do those steps work for you?  Can you execute "mvn clean install"
and get a decent build with tests passing?

Sure, you can use Windows, but I'll be able to help you a bit less, probably. :)

S,
ALR
