jboss eap 6.3 and javamelody ClassCastException

I have an EAR which contains javamelody deploying in jBoss EAP 6.3 and getting 
following exception;

Caused by: org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitProcessingException: JBA

and Deployoment fails. 

It works fine on jBoss EAP 6.1...didn't test on EAP 6.2

When deploying your application, jboss tries to cast the 
net.bull.javamelody.JpaPersistence class into 
javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider.
This is supposed to work, but does not in your case, perhaps because you have 
several javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider classes loaded: one 
javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider class loaded from jboss and one 
javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider class loaded from your app?

So do you have a jar file of the jpa api in your app, for example 
hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.1.Final.jar ?
If yes, should this jar file be removed from your app, because it is already 
provided by jboss EAP 6.3?
