Thanks, this seems to fix my class-loading issues (although such a 
workaround didn't use to work on jboss3). So if the problem with the 
startup script (hardcoded jdk path in the executable) gets resolved, we 
can keep building the ejb3, aop, annotations, etc. stuff if the proper 
jdk is used when building. It's almost like having your cake and eating 
it too :-)

Thanks,
