[jboss-as7-dev] resource bundle loading

Hi all, I've got a war ( org.apache.sling.launchpad-6.war from http://sling.apache.org/site/downloads.cgi) that deploys and functions properly in EAP5, but fails in AS7. In AS7, the war deploys without error but when accessing http://localhost:8080/org.apache.sling.launchpad-6 the web app fails with an NPE (stacktrace below). Looks like a resource bundle is not being loaded in AS7. This issue originally came up with an Express user, but is recreatable outside of Express. Any ideas? Do I need to explicitly list the resource bundle jar in AS7?
