Have you set up the project's build properties so it compiles to the
appropriate directory? By default, Eclipse will build to ${projectDir}/build;
for a web application you'll want it to build to
${projectDir}/WebContent/WEB-INF/classes, so the classes (and config files
etc.) are on the web app's CLASSPATH.

(Of course, as I was writing that, I imported it, right-clicked on the
project and chose "Run as => Run on Server" and used a Tomcat 5.5 and it
worked fine, so doing it that way must set up the classpath somehow.)

In any case, you're most likely having a CLASSPATH issue.

It starts without removing the tags. If you remove the end tags you should
probably remove the start tags as well, though.

I'll open a JIRA for the bad HTML.

Same classpath issue; however you're starting the app and/or have your Europa
configured etc. isn't getting your classpath configured correctly. As I said,
when I import either project and run as=>run on server it's working fine
(although I'm using TC 5.5 and JSE 1.5), so I'd check to see how you're
launching it and your project's classpath-related properties.
