The basic reason for this bug is (AFAICT) that the classes have been
added to the classpath prior to launching jBoss. This is wrong since
they should be loaded dynamically by the server. It may work now, minus
some of these exceptions, but in the future when dynamic code updating
is added it will lead to major breakage.
I would suggest that you run the server as intended instead, i.e. with
none of the jBoss classes on the system/app classpath.
