First question: why are you running 5.0.0.CR2? You should be using 5.0.0.GA or 5.0.1.GA. Second, use the 'code' tag to bracket xml text - otherwise the browser will attempt to render the tags. And use the Preview button to check the formatting before posting. Finally, are you sure you place helloworld.ear in server/all/deploy? Because I don't see it being deployed.
