Can you show how to get started with this babe ?
Sure. The following is a transcript of all it takes to get going. To be absolute water proof, I created a new user called aqp2. All that is left in the end is importing the generated project file into eclipse (netbeans/intellij). 
  			rotsee:/home/ustaudinger# adduser aqp2 --disabled-password
Adding user `aqp2' ...
Adding new group `aqp2' (1002) ...
Adding new user `aqp2' (1002) with group `aqp2' ...
The home directory `/home/aqp2' already exists.  Not copying from `/etc/skel'.

When building for the first time, there is a cglib dependency problem showing up.

Manually download the jar http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/cglib/cglib-nodep/2.1_3/ and overwrite the one in the local maven repository with it.

The JMS libraries (com.sun.messaging.mq:jms:jar:4.4-SNAPSHOT and com.sun.messaging.mq:imq:jar:4.4-SNAPSHOT) are missing and maven complains. What can I do and where can I retrieve them ?

Usually the dependencies should be resolved automatically, as the dependency repository has been added to the pom. However, we suspect that especially the java/sun repository seems to have some down times. When that happens, check if http://download.java.net/maven/2/com/sun/messaging/mq/ responds. If that works and problems still exist, try downloading the jars manually from that place and then follow the instructions that maven gives.

I don't want to rely and use the activequant.org master database. What do I have to do ?

Update ./src/main/resources/activequantdao/database-activequant.properties to your settings and also ./src/main/resources/data/database-batch.properties.
