At the time I looked at the jclouds, it was not possible to specify an exact flavour to use.
Instead, I had to specify a number of cores and an amount of RAM, but let the API figure out the flavour from that. There's got to be a way to specify a flavour instead.
Figured this out with the aid of the rackspace jclouds example. Unlike AWS, openstack doesn't use hardware_id, instead it uses the Hardware object in the TemplateBuilder shrug
