WFLY-71 work around? JMS NPE on startup (EAP 6.1.beta1)

[dlmiles]

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-71 

messaging resource adapter does not depend on RA's BootstrapContext service 

Can not update to EAP6.1 GA as OSGi is broken (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=907713).

Will look at WildFly in a few months when Beta2 is around (i.e. out of alpha and nearing RC/GA stages).

So stuck with EAP6.1.beta1 and need to make it work.

The problem: NullPointerException with JMS starting up.

Can I manually edit some JAR MANIFEST.MF or add something to standalone.xml to make it depend on something else ?

Sometime I see this problem 10% of the time, sometimes 90% of the time, I guess it depends how fast things bootup.

Can you post the relevant exception stacktrace?
