Still unable to get a first working default: Please help

I am embarrassed because I am recommending the Keel route for our project development, but 
I can't get a working Keel demonstration! 

A)  I tried using the latest versions from HEAD in CVS as suggested on the mailinglist
(see http://www.mail-archive.com/keelgroup-
keelframework.com-rI8AND0JKYOgdSakss0wQjGcDxdMUgRv@public.gmane.org/msg03032.html )
but this runs into the dependancy problem (looking for keel-core 4.2  and keel-common-3.2 that 
can't be found in the repositories). Plus the 4.2 version is not tagged in the CVS so it cant be 
built from there (as far as I understand).
I used the 1.3.3 plugin for the above.

B) I went back to tthe 1.2.18 plugin and the default example in keel-build 3.2.2 . I tried to follow 
the tips in the mailinglist. 

If I ignore maven keel:maven (since the dependency check is broken) and just run 
maven war  on the example-projects/default directory, no proper war file is built. 
(I clear the Maven cache every time)

Adding the following dependency to the project.xml  file  will cause a full .war file to be built:
  <dependency>
    <groupId>keel</groupId>
    <artifactId>keel-client</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.1</version> <!-- first tried 2.3  - Jacques -->
    <properties>
      <war.bundle>true</war.bundle>
      <keel.client>true</keel.client>
    </properties>
  </dependency>

This gives a Tomcat error quoted below.

My questions:

a) Should I continue with A or B above?

b) How can I get past the errors?

Regards
Jacques
