[Contrib: Evaluation System] Missing class deploying EvaluationSystem on 2.7.0

[Daniel Merino]

I'm sorry, I received the same errors of 1.2.1 when deploying the 1.3.x 
version of EvalSys (when the Tomcat's webapp context was automatically 
reloaded), but I hadn't restarted Tomcat because I assumed that it 
wouldn't work.

Restarting Tomcat after deploying 1.3.x works fine.

However, I think that the risk I talked about still remains, because 
AFAIK deploying the tag 1.2.1 of Evalsys (is the latest stable, am I 
right?) on Sakai 2.7 will throw that exception. Maybe you should 
recommend Evalsys 1.3.x for Sakai 2.7 in the Confluence Install page.

Thanks for your help.
Best regards.
