*) When I try to run some live tests against a real Swift instance as follows, it always fails.
See JCLOUDS-538 [1]. You will probably need to try to run the code from the pull request, as well as add the properties "test.swift.endpoint", "test.swift.identity" and "test.swift.credential".
I see your comment in the issue - what was the command line you used to invoke those tests?
