Hmm, CR3 deploys and starts up fine for me, but I am using MySQL 4x. Could you delete your JBOSS_HOME/server/default/data dir and replace the portal-mysql-ds.xml with portal-hsqldb-ds.xml and start it up, so we can isolate if the problem has something to do with your DB? The data dir will be replaced once you start up, and later you can switch back to MySQL by deleting it again and changing the datasource file.
