All, I wish to be part of the JBoss community and contribute in whatever ways I can. So, i started out by checking out the source from SVN ( http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/trunk/build ) and following the readme, executed build.bat. Initially the build failed with outOfMemory errors but then i got around them by setting the MAVEN_OPTS to use Xmx1024m. so, now it is not throwing OutOfMemory.
But i'm getting this error while executing JBoss Application Server Build. It always fails with the error

I'm on Win 7, 32bit, 4GB i7 machine. And my source version is 110803, and i'm on the trunk of jboss.
I have been trying to find relevant information on this but so far no fruit. Any light to help me out is appreciated.
P.S: If there are links available to help out a new member to the community in explaining the architecture as well as the standards, frequently faced issues and such, please point me to their direction.
