Ok, I've done this, and everything has built fine.

The layout of build/output looks useable, and I can produce debs from that.
I'll be moving stuff around, to make it fit properly in FHS.  I'll be making
some things into symlinks, to give jboss a correct view on the world.  In
other cases, I'll modify the configuration files to access the correct
locations directly.

Now, to the biggest issue with all this.  Could the final jboss tarball that
is created, *NOT* have any external source?  I can understand having a tarball
that does have this source, but could it be called jboss-bundle-src.tar.gz, or
something.  If there is no source tarball that is in this pristince state,
then I will not be able to upload jboss to Debian, because then it would mean
that Debian is distributing non-free software, which is not allowed.

Making debs of course, doesn't really matter about what is included and what
isn't.  But for actual upload to the Debian archive(and all its mirrors), I
*NEED* this non-free code and external code removed from the source tarball.
Even if this means the build system contains broken references to these
missing files, that is fine.

Additionally, I tried setting build.compiler=jikes in build/build.xml, but it
didn't compile blindly fast.  Is this the correct way to use jikes?
