When building locally TomEE has tons of broken tests.

[Mark Struberg]

IF we want to increase the community activity, then we first need to have a 
stable local build.
One has to checkout, run mvn clean install and get a green build. 
Currently that's just not the case. It seems that the tests only run fine on 
the CI box. That's a showstopper for any community involvement.
I've started tracking down those tests in error. I can test Linux and OSX in 
parallel
