The symptom:

08:25:16,540 ERROR [URLDeploymentScanner] Incomplete Deployment listing:

--- Packages waiting for a deployer ---
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentInfo@56b0df96 {
url=file:/usr/java/jboss/server/default/deploy/postgres-dsl.xml }
  deployer: null
  status: null
  state: INIT_WAITING_DEPLOYER
  watch: file:/usr/java/jboss/server/default/deploy/postgres-dsl.xml

The cause: An extra letter in the XML file name. Obviously it should be postgres-ds.xml, without that unneeded l. It would be nice to get a more informative error than this.

On other topics, I just installed KUbuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10). Boot times are quicker, now under a minute from boot to usable desktop. Everything else seems quicker. It no longer comes with Java 1.4 or Java 1.5 packages. I don't know why those have kept shipping with other distros so long after they were obsolete, 1.4 in particular. Gutsy Gibbon also comes with new desktop effects, although I haven't had time to get these configured and try them out, and don't see a need for them.

And JBoss 4.2.2 starts up fast.

[Server] JBoss (MX MicroKernel) [4.2.2.GA (build: SVNTag=JBoss_4_2_2_GA date=200710221139)]

And I have installed NetBeans 6 rc 1, and I'm enjoying it. I'll post more about that as I try out more of its features.
