Problem when deploying Java EE 1.4 to Java EE 5 upgraded EAR

Hi Guys,

as the deployment of our Java EE 1.4 EAR on JOnAS 5.2 works OK now, we
started to upgrade the EAR
to a Java EE 5 EAR.

On deployment of the test-archive, we get the following error:

What does this mean exactly?

The Class "com/lbslogics/ims/system/IMSConstants"  ist no EJB at all
(it's also not annotated with @Stateless..), it's one of several hundred
"other"
classes that is contained in the ejb-jar.jar  

What did we do wrong ?

(basically we did the following:
deleted ejb-jar.xml
annotated all old EJB's with @Stateless, @Remote, @Local
)

regards,
Hans
