JBoss EAP 6 cannot find JARs in APP-INF/lib
<p>I am doing a migration from Weblogic to JBoss EAP 6.4 but I am having a problem deploying to and starting the JBoss server. </p>

<p>My EAR structure is as follows:</p>

<pre><code>.EAR
|
|---APP-INF
|      |---lib
|           |---[many .jar files]
|
|---META-INF
|       |---application.xml
|       |---jboss-deployment-structure.xml
|
|---[EJB JAR files]
</code></pre>

<p><strong>The problem:</strong> </p>

<p>The EJB JARs in the root of the EAR cannot access the classes in the JARs that are in the <code>APP-INF/lib</code> folder.</p>
