First, independent of the particular failure we should not let one failing test block the execution of a whole testsuite. So the test should be conditionally skipped for this particular jvm version/vendor combination and another simpler test created to expose the underlying problem either in AS or VFS (but again, not holding the whole testsuite). Obviously the usecase of re-deploying a jar is quite common and needs to be addressed. What if we jboss.vfs.forceNoReaper=true by default?
