Hi Guys,
I have various ejb's deployed on jboss4.0.3 /linux and win2k.
Recently I changed my development environment to windows xp and I started getting deployment errors with same ejb's that are still running in production environment.
Obviously the problem is with my development environment. I am using jdk1.4.2_12 and jboss 4.0.3

I am getting following error stack

org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: ejb-jar.xml must either obey the right xml schema or define a valid DOCTYPE!
