We're missing some good precondition checks in place.

Erring code:

final JavaArchive jar = ShrinkWrap.create(JavaArchive.class, "ejb-security-test.jar");
jar.addPackage(AnnotatedSLSB.class.getPackage());
jar.addAsManifestResource("ejb/security/ejb-jar.xml", "ejb-jar.xml"); // HERE, if the file in the first arg does not exist
return jar;

Makes:
