[Opensource] Copying the Expresso_Config dtd to Core directory

[Mike Traum]

As far as I'm aware, Expresso_ConfigXXX.dtd must be in the
WEB-INF/classes/com/jcorporate/expresso/core directory and that is the
permanent solution (or having it in a .jar). I think figuring out why
it's being deleted is the solution. 

1. Are you using the expresso source to build the class files into
/classes, or are you using the .jar? (I'm assuming the source)

2. If you're using the source, I'm assuming that your IDE is doing a
complete rebuild sometimes, which often will delete the entire classes
directory and rebuild everything. You need to make sure your IDE is set
up to copy those files over (in Eclipse, for example, it's in Project
Properties -> Java Compiler -> Build Path -> Filtered Resources)

I'm guessing (2) will solve your problem, because I can think of nothing
else that would be deleting files from classes...

hth,
