APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
When running ejbdeploy through the ANT EJB task on z/OS,
customers may experience a classloader error where the task
is unable to find a matching runtime plugin for the eclipse
code shipped with WebSphere v5 on z/OS.  The following exception
is an example of what you may see:
Failure invoking BootLoader.startup method
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Fatal Error: Unable to locate
matching org.eclipse.core.runtime plug-in.
 at org.eclipse.core.internal.boot.PlatformConfiguration.
    locateDefaultPlugins(PlatformConfiguration.java:2264)
 at org.eclipse.core.internal.boot.PlatformConfiguration.
    <init>(PlatformConfiguration.java:903)
...
Local fix
Run ejbdeploy.sh, rather than through the ws_ant task.
