Re: tomcat/servlet doesn't find source

So the problem appears to be that the source editor indicates errors for 
some of the import statements in one of your source files, but not in 
the other source files in the same directory. This by itself is not a 
problem, per se. If you are able to set breakpoints and step through the 
code, then basically everything is working as intended.

As to why the NetBeans Java parser thinks one source file has problems 
and the other one does not, I can't say. That is quite peculiar.

If any of this is preventing you from debugging, let me know what 
exactly the problem is.
