When I try to deploy my EAR I get an exception. I'm using Hiberate as my JPA provider. I downloaded hibernate using the update tool. I even tried using the hibernate jar files from my GF v2.1 install but they don't work either.
This is the exception I'm getting. Unfortunately this is all the information in the log file. I can deploy the application on GF v2.1 without any problems.
