-Add it to the libraries that Eclipse will recognize. [I can't tell you how 
to do that since I don't use Eclipse]

-Put the actual jar file in $TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib directory.  If it still 
won't compile let me know.  I've only been really compiling against the 1.3 
JDK version.  So if you've got any problems, I'd like to know about it.

For now, until I've been able to dig into the demo apps, nobody's been 
keeping them up to date, so I'd just delete the genco app for now. [And you 
can delete the whole demo directory for all that]

No, there's  A LOT of deprecation warnings in Expresso right now.  I've 
cleaned up probably 50 or so deprecation warnings in this release, and 4.2 
will focus on removing all the deprecation warnings all together.

HTH!
