[jboss-as7-dev] Seeing NPE on simple war deployment

when I pulled down the current repo and did the build, it fails on the smoke tests, but it did build the server target. If I try running that with a simple ROOT.war, it is failing to deploy with the following NPE: 19:17:45,706 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-4) MSC00001: Failed to start service jboss.deployment.unit."ROOT.war".PARSE: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.deployment.unit."ROOT.war".PARSE: Failed to process phase PARSE of deployment "ROOT.war" at org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitPhaseService.start(DeploymentUnitPhaseService.java:108) at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.run(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1675) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) [:1.6.0_24] at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) [:1.6.0_24] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:680) [:1.6.0_24] Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.as.server.deployment.annotation.AnnotationIndexUtils.getAnnotationIndexes(AnnotationIndexUtils.java:55) at org.jboss.as.web.deployment.WarAnnotationDeploymentProcessor.deploy(WarAnnotationDeploymentProcessor.java:116) at org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitPhaseService.start(DeploymentUnitPhaseService.java:102) ... 4 more
