Jared Hodge commented on MTOMCAT-263:
-------------------------------------

It looks to me like running java -jar target/bla-war-exec.jar creates a 
.extract/ folder in the CURRENT directory.  This is bad behavior to start with 
(it should be in the directory of the jar or some specified location).  This 
doesn't fail much of the time because once the directory is created outside of 
target/ it probably isn't going away.  Here is how I'm working around this 
issue:

mkdir target/.extract
java -jar target/bla-war-exec.jar -extractDirectory target/.extract

This seems to work (still working on other errors).
I get this issue with 2.2 (haven't used 2.3).  I did not see it with 2.1.  I'm 
guessing you tried on 2.3 first and then 2.2 or you're working with snapshots 
or something.
