NullPointerException when Deploying EJB Client

While testing the labs for one of our course a week or two back, I ran into the following error. A null pointer exception when an EJB 3 client is deployed. There are no errors in the source code.

When you look on the app server, EJB31Client.jar is, in fact, in the wrong place. It turns out that this is a bug with GlassFish V3 and Java 6 update 18. To solve the problem, drop back to Java 6 update 17 or upgrade to GlassFish 3.0.1 when it becomes available.
