[Opensource] Réf. : Re: [Opensource] Réf. : [Opensource] Expresso in Jbuilder6

[Lirian Ostrovica]

Hi,
Thank you guys for the answers, specially Thierry Clement..
What I wanted to add, is that I had to manually copy
expresso-config_4_0.dtd to the 'WEB-INF/classes' because JBuilder can
not take it from the 'src' directory of the project.
