I attempt to apply the RESTEasy 2.3.5 patch by unzipping it in the modules directory in JBoss, and restarting JBoss. Before I apply this patch, everything works, but with an earlier version of RESTEasy. After I apply the 2.3.5 patch and deploy my ear, I get this error:

I'm using Maven to build and deploy my application, but all RESTEasy dependencies have the "provided" scope so it is relying on JBoss to provide the jars.

Instead of applying a patch, I'd much prefer to change the scope of the RESTEasy dependencies to "compile" so all necessary jars are included in the ear deployment, but that doesn't work - I get the following error:
