Cannot configure JBoss 4.0.3 on Linux 4.0 because of xml parsing
problem.

In JBoss 4.0.3, the installed file jar_versions.xml contains the
informational string ?France Telecomm R&D?. The "&" character is a xml
violation. XML parser catches this string during xml parsing and throws the following exception,

org.jdom.JDOMException: Error on line 5 of document file:/opt/jboss/AppServer/4.
0.3/jar-versions.xml: The reference to entity "D" must end with the ';' delimite
