I suspect there is an unexpected XML block present in jar:file:/tmp/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/build/target/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/modules/org/jboss/jts/main/jbossjts-4.16.3.Final.jar!/default-jbossts-properties.xml. For example one with a missing value. I've tried commenting out keys with empty values, but that didn't help. It's not clear to me from debugging the code, which element it is complaining about.
