'Failed to process JAR found at URL [jar:file:bcprov-jdk15-1.46.jar!/] for ServletContainerInitializers for context

I have a seven web applications developed in Spring 3.2, all annotation based. I am using Hibernate 4.2 as my ORM framework.

I create a tomcat image with all the seven wars packed inside and use the same for deployment on Amazon EC2.

For last couple of days I have been encountering the below error message almost at every deployment:

WARNING: Failed to scan JAR [file:/opt/progress/CloudServices/server/webapps/cs-

Note This was working fine earlier, the current code base might have added on or two more classes.

Not able to understand the exact problem. Any help would be really appreciated.

Update

When I increase the memory allocated to the JVM, this works fine every time. Also, if I delete the exploded war of the project which failed to deploy and re-copy the war at the webapps directory of tomcat, it works well.

Solution 1:^[1]

I experienced a similar problem right now, and the solution was also to increase the memory given to Tomcat.

For the record, the error I got was this:

The pulse-java.jar is not present on my system (never has been). Increasing the memory given to Tomact solved the problem.
