Hi Folks,

I'm pretty new to java and very new to Spring and STS, so bear with me a bit.

I've been given an existing Maven project and can't seem to get it to run. The error I get is:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base /Users/supertom/springsource/tc-server-6.0.20.C/wtpwebapps/spring-mvc does not exist or is not a readable directory
at org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext.setDocB ase(FileDirContext.java:142)
at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.resources Start(StandardContext.java:4048)

Some more details

# OS/software
OS X 10.6.4

# SpringSource Tool Suite
Version: 2.5.0.RELEASE
Build Id: 201010241000

# Tomcat (the one that came with STS)
tc-server-6.0.20.C

# other configuration
Project Facets: Dynamic Web Module and Java are checked (Details Pane)

Target Runtime: SpringSource tc Server (Runtime) v6.0 (I've unchecked this as well in which case it just asks what runtime to use)

# Notable:

When I initially imported the project (Import -> existing maven projects) I got an NPE. No other info
If I try to add/remove

I verified no other tomcat is running, or any java processes for that matter before starting.

I've actually done some tweaking and got the above error to go away, but now I just don't get anything in the wtpwebapps dir

Nothing in the console about things not starting, etc. I just believe it isn't being copied to the directory.

# Things I've tried:
Updated mvn to 1.6 from 1.5 in my pom.xml
Update Project Configuration as described here: http://forum.springsource.org/showpo...25&postcount=7
build a war and copy it manually to the webapps folder - works
tried developer addition tc server vs general tc server. Same issue
