JBOSS throws exception on startup - jboss

Question

I'm starting jboss server through CLI in windows 7. Initially it was starting but then I wrote java code for sending messages to learn JMS. After that I'm getting below exceptions. Could anyone please help me in resolving this.
Note: I've removed java file(Consumer.java) from my system, still somehow exception shows it's referring to my java file.

Thanks in advance.

I've come across this problem when deploying an ear file that contained an empty jar (view the contents and order by size). Check your ear file for an empty jar, if it contains one remove it.
