[jboss-as7-dev] Seeing NPE on simple war deployment

[Scott Stark]

when I pulled down the current repo and did the build, it fails on the 
smoke tests, but it did build the server target. If I try running that 
with a simple ROOT.war, it is failing to deploy with the following NPE:


19:17:45,706 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-4)
