Yes it does seem like a packaging issue. Rebuilding from sources: I tried as best as I could. Following directions in JBoss Dev Process Guide and after downloading 600 MB of CVS src/jar (ant synchronize), I had to mkdir the following directories manually (the build process needs some work IMHO) | ../common/output | ../common/output/lib | ../j2se/output/lib | ../j2se/output/ | ../j2se/output/lib | ../j2ee/output | ../j2ee/output/lib | ../naming/output | ../naming/output/lib | ../container/output | ../container/output/lib | ../mbeans/output | ../mbeans/output/lib | ../mbeans/output | ../mbeans/output | ../mbeans/output/resources | ../mbeans/output/resources/dtd | ../jmx/output | ../jmx/output/lib | ../system/output | ../system/output/lib | ../system/output/bin | ../system/output/resources | ../system/output/resources/dtd | ../transaction/output | ../transaction/output/lib | ../server/output | ../server/output/lib | ../server/output/resources/exception-processor | ../server/output/resources/ | ../server/output/resources/exception-processor | ../server/output/resources/client-deployer | ../server/output/resources/jmx-invoker-adaptor | ../server/output/resources/jmx-invoker-adaptor/META-INF | ../server/output/etc | ../server/output/etc/deploy | ../server/output/etc/conf | ../server/output/etc/conf/default And finally I did "ant build" got stuck at this step; | BUILD FAILED | Error executing 'build.main' for Build@13e754f{id=jbossas} | Cause: The following error occurred while executing this line: | Error executing 'release.server.jboss-minimal.xml' for Artifact@fb6354{id=jboss- | minimal.xml} | Cause: Cannot perform operation from directory to file. Ben, if you have any input into this last problem, great. If not, I can wait for a package that let's me do ejb3 and port changes, as I have spent already lots of time on this issue. This is needed for a class I am about to teach, but I can use a Linux box as the second node, so there won't be any need for port change.
