Hi, I am a n00b wanting to contribute to Harmony.
We're all newbies at some point, so don't worry about that :)
All I have done so far (code-wise) is checkout the harmony code (revision 410710) from svn and run ant from ~/Harmony/make folder. But I am running into errors: I am using GCJ on Ubuntu5.10.
There's your problem, I suspect, as I don't think anyone has tried using GCJ.

Can someone please point me what is the obvious-wrong I am doing? Should I use Sun / Bea java for the build? And can I do development for Harmony using some IDE like IntelliJ IDEA? And Should I not run the default ant target if I am just going to do java work?
While you should be able to self-host now using the J9 evaluation VM from IBM, others have noted it might be easier if you just go get the distro from Sun or BEA and start with that while you come up to speed.
Yes, you can use IntelliJ - everyone can use the tools that are best for them, and the project will remain IDE neutral. :)
As for the default ant target, you should run that to build the native libraries. We've been talking about making a development kit available that has those precompiled, but I think it's worth your while getting it to build from top to bottom at least once.
