spring-context-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar in project cannot be read or is not a valid ZIP file

[utester]

Hi,

I am new to STS but comfortable with Eclipse and Java. I did the following:

1. Downloaded the Eclipse integrated STS on to my Windows 7 64-bit machine
2. Created an MVC application using the template
3. I have NOT added any code to this because I first want to make sure that my barbones application from the template works
4. I deployed it onto the VMware tc server
5. I am seeing the following error:
Description Resource Path Location Type
Archive for required library: 'C:/Users/<username>/.m2/repository/org/springframework/spring-context/3.1.0.RELEASE/spring-context-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar' in project 'MasterFrameworkMVC' cannot be read or is not a valid ZIP file
6. I went to the location mentioned here and wanted to look at the contents of the jar. The result of that is -


$ jar tvf spring-context-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -agentlib:jvmhook

All I did was install using Spring's installer, create an application using Spring's MVC template and attempt to run on the tc server provided by spring. Why am I seeing this error and how can I get past it?

Thanks a ton in advance

An update:

I just downloaded spring-context-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar again and replaced it in my install. I now have a different error:

SEVERE: ContainerBase.addChild: start:

I do see this class in the spring-core-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar as shown below:

MY Questions are:
1. How do I put it on the VMware vFabric tc Server's classpath so that the runtime can find it?
2. The bigger question is: Doesn't STS and the MVC application from Spring's template set up all the necessary classpaths etc? Are there follow up steps and if yes, is it documented somewhere?


Thanks!
