The importer is in the server svn. We're debating whether or not to
merge our other svn resources at the moment. We'll keep you posted.

This first part of the error comes from building via "ant" or
"java". If you use "./build.py" it will be silenced.

It looks like "slice2cpp" has not been installed on your system. What
OS is this? http://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/omero/ticket/1707 shows
how to workaround on RPM-based systems. (Basically, install the
ice-c++-devel package)
