Hi, Sandro

*_prove - eclipse test project.zip  *- work as expected without any errors

I reproduce error with other linux inside Virtualbox.
https://github.com/ezh/DOTFILES/blob/master/PUBLIC/apache_pivot_2.0.2_reproduce.png

I downloaded a random 64bit live cd
It located at
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/precise/release/
64-bit PC (AMD64) install/live DVD
I created virtual machine and got same issue.
Now you may reproduce this and find the solution yourself.

About maven layout and so on - You are right, it is work at correct
location. But there is no hints for end user and no documentation
Yes, anyone may read source code, but it is ineffective sometimes.

I hope that you will fix this issue and I try pivot again later? maybe.
I am sorry but I am the end user that must to solve his own problems, not
add new one. :-(

Off-topic:

Product that complete at 99,9% is useless for customer because of lack last
0.1%. I hope that most notable improvement of pivot 2.1 will be
documentation. All technical improvements are minor additions :-)

Please take a look at http://www.miglayout.com/QuickStart.pdf. It will be
my next problem with Apache Pivot :-( Just transform such document to
Apache Pivot reality and you save a lot of newbies.

As an example. Google do nice trick with Android SDK. You spent few days
and create a lot. Then you will find that something don't work as expected.
Then you will read source code and understand that framework is full of
doggy code, hacks, incomplete chunks. Then you will dig dipper and go to
bug tracking system and look at thousand of bugs. Some of bugs unsolved for
years. BUT you already have few days before you meet with reality. You
already there, within infrastructure :-) And you will continue to use all
that ... framework :-) Apache Pivot didn't give me even a few days. Sorry,
but this is a point of view of framework end user, not a developer. I am
end user :-( Have no time for free development.

King regards,
Alexey
