Thank you! It worked 🙂
There is another case that error could happen : when project is java 6+ and tomcat runtime configured to run with jre 5. Changing configuration of the jre in the tomcat runtime configuration to jre6 or greater solve the problem in this case.
i got the same error , tried the solution did not work … using Spring STS 3.6.3 , is there something to do with the version of IDE
Thanks, problem solved.
Wonderful, thank you. None other “answers” even mention facets or ‘jst.web’ – Great Job!
Thnx …It helps me alot..

Thank you very much. Seems like you have the answers for most of my problems. Your work is greatly appreciated!
Hi, how can I automate this by just using the mvn clipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=X.X ? I don’t want to have “extra configurations” besides that command. Is this possible ?
thanks!
Struts2 tiles application runs fine in eclipse helios. When opened with eclipse Juno it gives exception:

Could you please let me know what could be the reason and how to fix it?
Thanks so much!
I was able to get rid of this problem,Thanks for this post.
I have the same error. tomcat7 works but it runs in outofmemory errors since my app is huge, but I want to make it work for tomcat 6.
I don’t have a file by name ‘org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml’ in the .settigns folder. Am I missing something, I do have Eclipse Juno.
Thanks! good tip to step over this IDE limitation.
Works!
But actually you may change “Dynamic Web Module” by right click on the project->Properties->Project Facets
No, that option is disabled, unable to change. I have to update the XML file manually.
Thanks that got me out of a jam!!!
