Ignore the *~ backup filesgenerated emacs files...
Changing the dependencies in the SNAPSHOT and dated pom to the
following fixes the problem. I can only guess that Geronimo is
closing some loop that doesn't exist for pure OpenEJB...
<dependencies>
<!--
This dependency is here to ensure that absolutely nothing
under the container module section can be dependent on any
server modules.

<!-- <dependency> -->
<!-- <groupId>org.apache.openejb</groupId> -->
<!-- <artifactId>container</artifactId> -->
