I installed ruby and dependency friends -- In checking the 
Makefile, I do not see automated buildtime testing.  The 
./doc/html/ directory has a couple likely pages, but I do not 
hit on the method for running the tests.  I moved into .test/ 
and fired off ./check.sh, which has completed 140 tests with 
zero failures, and then proceeded to emit what appears to be a 
largish XML test harness result.

Dunno about a unique configuration -- RHEL is pretty large in 
its pond, and pretty actively and successfully courting some 
large commercial bank players; I have used it widely in a 
non-bank financial for which I heavily consulted.  I do not 
get the feel that SuSE/Novell are as well accepted (being a 
Novell admin, as well as a RH developer, I feel I can opine) 
Centos is the largest and most well organized of the 
non-proprietary rebuild efforts.

ahhh -- a second test finished, with 288/0; I'll rerun it an 
look just for the results frames:

[herrold@couch test]$ export 
PATH="/opt/IBMJava2-142/bin/:$PATH" ; export 
JAVA_HOME="/opt/IBMJava2-142" ; time ( ./check.sh | grep 
results)
   <results total="140" failures="0">
   </results>
<results total='278' failures='0'/>
[herrold@couch test]$

check_java.sh and runat and friends seem to need a 
counter-party server to connect to, so I will skip these for 
the moment, as I work through the code ;)

I deferred putting in a new ant.jar, as I prefer to remain 
with upstream developers, for ease of diagnosing issues.  I 
did however trim the JAVA_HOME path, and this did the trick.
