Sun AVK

Problem with most recent JavaTM Application Verification Kit (AVK) for the Enterprise 1.4

I want to verify a rather simple .ear File using the ant-task

<ArchiveTest appName="/mypath/myapp.ear" reportingOpts="a" />

but it does't work at all, error message

[delete] Deleting directory /avk/reporttool/static

[java] 30.04.2004 10:02:29 com.sun.enterprise.tools.verifier.Verifier validate

[java] INFO: About to ValidateParse META-INF/application.xml file.

[java] 30.04.2004 10:02:31 com.sun.enterprise.tools.verifier.Verifier loadAppJar

[java] FATAL: Error: ** Error trying to process file: myapp.ear

[java] Exception : java.io.IOException: The archive null does not contain deployment descriptor file META-INF/application-client.xml

the app doesn't need a client, but this error occurs independent of the existence of a file META-INF/application-client.xml

any suggestions?
