The instructions for excluding a subsystem in the docs[1] lead to :
JBAS018754: Unexpected content of type 'element start', name is 'exclude-subsystems', text is: 'null'

The sample jboss-deployment-structure.xml in the docs doesn't specify the namespace and the default version assumed by EAP 6.0.1 is not 1.2. "exclude-subsystem" is introduced in version 1.2 of jboss-deployment-structure schema. Specifying the namespace solves the problem:

<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2">

The docs need to be updated accordingly.

Fix is in. Will provide a link when the docs are built next. Moving this to MODIFIED.

From description I understand, that problem with missing jboss-deployment-structure tag is mainly related to EAP 6.0.1 and EAP 6.0.0, so this issue should be fixed alson in 6.0 documentation.
