Hello Matt, I have noticed that on the modular project the XML Schema is pointing to the old version of the spring-beans-2.0.xsd file.
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/*spring-beans-2.0*.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd" default-lazy-init="true"> this is causing an error in elipse IDE that can be easely eliminated by changing the schema file to new new spring-beans-2.5.xsd or even spring-beans-3.0.xsd althought the appfuse project is not configured to use the new spring 3.0 library.
