How does one build step2?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The documentation and wiki are silent. It appears that a simple maven run
will build it, but the tests fail. There is no hints as to what tests are 
expected to pass, which fail, and nothing on how to fix the failures.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. mvn --version
Apache Maven 2.2.1 (rdebian-1)
Java version: 1.6.0_21


2. mvn  clean install

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

many, many test failures: here are some samples:
