IO exception during deployment scanning causes applications on EAP 6 to be undeployed
Issue
We use the deployment scanner with default settings, hence 5000 milliseconds scan interval. We have seen the following exception and our application is undeployed:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /path/to/jboss/standalone/deployments/app.ear.pending (Too many open files)
