Installed Spring-ide version 1.1.1 in Spring 3.01, and use Spring 1.2 rcX.
Added nature to project and added context files to project.
Problem: beans that are referenced with "ref bean" are not being found.

In my applicationContext-db.xml file I have:
Code:
    <bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.
            factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
        <description>Use the 'run.properties' file to 
               override the properties 
               used in the Spring container</description>
        <property name="properties"><ref  
             bean="runProperties"></ref></property>        
    </bean>
This refers to the bean in the root applicationContext.xml file:
Code:
    <bean id="runProperties" class="org.springframework.beans.
         factory.config.PropertiesFactoryBean">
        <description></description>
        <property name="locations">
            <list>
                <value>file&#58;run.properties</value>
            </list>
        </property>        
    </bean>

All context files are flagged as in error in Eclipse. The app compiles and runs fine. I must be missing something about Spring-ide?
