I have continued to try and track down the issue and it turns out the problem is with JBoss Embedded.
I've ruled out Maven being the problem by providing a command line that shows how JBoss Embedded fails to load the persistence.xml file when multiple _directories_ are given on the classpath. (this may not actually be a bug in Embedded JBoss but how it interprets the EJB3 spec) For those interested the current frontline of effort is here: http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=125266 (my post starts halfway down the first page of the thread) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4123792#4123792 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=4123792 _______________________________________________ jboss-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/jboss-user
