What causes an ArchiveRuntimeException ?

[Jay Damon]

Recently, I have begun receiving an ArchiveRuntimeException from the WAS v4 AAT when saving the EAR file (after applying bindings). Interestingly enough, the AAT actually creates an EAR file that is deployable and appears to work properly but it bothers me that this exceptions occurs since I have not seen it before.
Any ideas as to what causes such an exception?
An exception example is shown below:
