[Building Sakai] Sakai 2.8 BlogWow and Tomcat 7

[Mike Jennings]

I was upgrading the Tomcat 5.5 server to Tomcat 7 and when I added 
BlogWow to the build I would get the following error.

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating 
bean with name
'org.sakaiproject.entitybroker.impl.entityprovider.EntityProviderAutoRegistrar' 
defined in
file 
[/opt/sakai/tomcat/components/entitybroker-pack/WEB-INF/components.xml]:

After doing some searching I came across this thread.

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.cms.sakai.devel/46896

In this Stuart Freedman upgraded the reflectutils jar from 0.9.10 to 
0.9.14 and the issue went away.

Did not know if anyone else has seen this.
