Building SwitchYard with the IBM JDK reveals a number of issues. Here's the JDK version I used to produce these failures :

java version "1.7.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pxa6470sr6-20131015_01(SR6))
IBM J9 VM (build 2.6, JRE 1.7.0 Linux amd64-64 Compressed References 20131013_170512 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)

Here's the list of failed tests I found. Some of them may be duplicate issues, for instance all of the quickstart test failures are probably due to the same cause.

x TEST-org.switchyard.component.http.HttpProxyTest.xml
x TEST-org.switchyard.component.resteasy.HttpProxyTest.xml
x TEST-org.switchyard.component.soap.WSDLUtilTest.xml
x TEST-org.switchyard.quickstarts.bpel.service.LoanApprovalTest.xml
x TEST-org.switchyard.quickstarts.camel.netty.binding.CamelNettyBindingTest.xml
x TEST-org.switchyard.test.quickstarts.CamelCdiBusQuickstartTest.xml
x TEST-org.switchyard.test.quickstarts.CamelMailBindingQuickstartTest.xml
x TEST-org.switchyard.test.quickstarts.CamelSOAPProxyQuickstartTest.xml
x TEST-org.switchyard.tools.forge.plugin.ForgeSwitchyardTest.xml
x TEST-org.switchyard.tools.forge.plugin.SwitchYardFacetTest.xml
x TEST-org.switchyard.transform.xslt.internal.XsltTransformerTest.xml

In addition to the test failures, console is not building properly :

Caused by: java.io.InvalidClassException: com.google.gwt.dev.jjs.SourceOrigin$1; local class incompatible: stream classdesc serialVersionUID = -2407201776821563037, local class serialVersionUID = 4713379764594032837
[INFO] at java.io.ObjectStreamClass.initNonProxy(ObjectStreamClass.java:689)
[INFO] at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readNonProxyDesc(ObjectInputStream.java:1691)

And when the release installer is built and run on EAP, the standalone configuration files are not edited properly, so the AS does not start.
