Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi,

We have an EAR that had ejbs in a war file. recently it was converted to a jar and since then the deployment from eclipse to the local glassfish is giving the following errors:

SEVERE: Exception while deploying the app [hub-application-ear]
SEVERE: Invalid ejb jar [hub-sso.jar]: it contains zero ejb.
Note:
1. A valid ejb jar requires at least one session, entity (1.x/2.x style), or message-driven bean.
2. EJB3+ entity beans (@Entity) are POJOs and please package them as library jar.
3. If the jar file contains valid EJBs which are annotated with EJB component level annotations (@Stateless, @Stateful, @MessageDriven, @Singleton), please check server.log to see whether the annotations were processed properly.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid ejb jar [hub-sso.jar]: it contains zero ejb.

However, the deployment of the same EAR to the local server from the glassfish admin screen works as expected.

We are developing in EJB 3.1, eclipse is Indigo and server is glassfish 3.1.2.
