I asked in the jira and got this response:

My app doesn't use joda-time directly. When I started migration from 
JBoss 6 to 7 I had to copy joda-time into WEB-INF/lib because the EAR's 
web module is using Seam International and the JAR requires joda-time. 
AFAIK, joda-time was included in JBoss 6.

The annotations for HV like @Min etc. are in domain classes which are in 
a utility project included as a JAR in <EAR>/lib. However, such a JAR 
doesn't see JARs in WEB-INF/lib.

I think the best solution for HV's dependency would be to have a 
joda-time module as you mentioned above.
