Thanks, Here's the relevant piece I found in the log. If I run it from command line instead of Eclipse plugin, it runs faster. If I remove my EAR from the deployment dir it runs even faster. 2009-01-03 13:49:12,640 DEBUG [org.jboss.deployment.MappedReferenceMetaDataResolverDeployer] (main) vfsfile:/C:/jboss-5.0.0.GA/server/default/deploy/jmx-console.war/ endpoint mappings: | | 2009-01-03 13:49:12,640 DEBUG [org.jboss.deployment.MappedReferenceMetaDataResolverDeployer] (main) Processing unit=jmx-console.war, structure: | jmx-console.war | | | 2009-01-03 13:51:02,015 DEBUG [org.jboss.metadata.process.chain.ejb.jboss.JBossMetaDataProcessorChain] (main) Added Processor org.jboss.metadata.process.processor.ejb.jboss.SetDefaultLocalBusinessInterfaceProcessor@1e55518 to Chain org.jboss.metadata.process.chain.ejb.jboss.JBossMetaDataProcessorChain@135cde4 | This piece takes almost 2 minutes. Is this normal? Do you think there's anything I can do? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4199358#...
