Getting java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError during OSB deployment

Problem

During the deployment of the OSB project from the command line, we get the following cryptic error:

Diagnostic XML Bean debug log file created: /tmp/xmlbeandebug5401068355720061527.log
* Unexpected error: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
* Session discarded
* Unexpected error:  java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
No stack trace available.

Opening up the .log file in /tmp doesn't help much and only yields more cryptic information:

Solution

1. Try importing the JAR through the OSB Console, and you will get a more accurate error as to why the deployment failed.
