Description

I downloaded the latest release of branch 12.04 (rev 1407413) and did my usual work of loading the project through eclipse. Once the project was built and loaded I was faced with classpath errors preventing me from even starting the framework.

There were exactly 5 errors relating to the name of tomcat libraries. I list below the errors and definitions in .classpath in the project. I noticed the difference is a dot instead of a dash in the entries against the actual files. However, when I renamed them, I get more errors.

THE ERRORS AS SHOWN IN ECLIPSE:
