[opencms-dev] ver. 5 -- NEWS RSS module, exceptions when I open the admin pages

[Xavier Ottolini]

I found the origin of the exceptions

There was something curious.
The classes of the package com.opencms.modules.homepage.news are present 
in two directories. In  $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/opencms/WEB-INF/lib/rss4j.jar
and in
 /home/adelis_tomcat/devtomcat/webapps/opencms/WEB-INF/classes/
