The attached maven application project has a subtle typo in a JNDI name in the jboss-ejb3.xml file.

The deployment process results in a hanging thread shown below. There are no diagnostic log messages at all to indicate what the problem could be.

A second consequence of this hung thread is that the server process can only be terminated with a "kill -9 <pid>".

Note that it is deliberately a JEE5 compatible application.
