Agree to not block teh release for the failing tests (which IMO are false negatives):
The failures seem to be related to the order in which object properties are serialized to JSON. A similar thing happened to the Abiquo provider, where tests succeeded or failed depending on the JAXB version (which kinda sucks). If you take a closer look at the failure, it is just a matter of the test, which is comparing the payloads as raw Strings, but if you take into account the JSON structure and values, the generated requests are correct. I think we could improve ExpectTests assertions in general to avoid this kind of raw String comparisons, and make the tests happy regardless of the Java/JAXB/foo versions.
