I tried removing MDB's just to see if application gets deployed, I came across couple of things:
1. I have packaged my persistence.xml in a separate jar file that resides in "lib" directory of EE5 application. I thought application deployer should have found persistence unit, instead it threw following exception:
09:15:31,390 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-7) MSC00001: Failed to start service jboss.deployment.unit."efp.ear"."ejb.jar".PARSE: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in servi

Here is my persistence.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence">
<persistence-unit name="efp" transaction-type="JTA">
<jta-data-source>java:jdbc/eFpDataSource</jta-data-source>
<provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="false"/>
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect"/>
<property name="hibernate.transaction.manager_lookup_class" value="org.hibernate.transaction.JBossTransactionManagerLookup" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
2. When I moved my persistence.xml to ejb.jar it threw following exception:
09:29:42,109 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-5) MSC00001: Failed to start service jboss.deployment.unit."efp.ear"."ejb.jar".PARSE: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in servi
