Ubuntu 11.10 VM including OpenJDK Build Image

[John Yeary]

OK, I missed the big picture. Although the Vagrant system would not
necessarily work for a hack-a-thon per se. I do see the value now. I guess
I did not understand what Dalibor was trying to tell me. I read Patrick's
email, and went back to the message Dailbor sent.

Ahh... the lightbulb is on now!

Martijn, I have notes. I reconstructed my VB VM to make sure I had all the
necessary bits.

This is so exciting.
