Issue getting tiles working in Tiles 2.2.2 : "PWC1223: Path
classpath*:META-INF/**/tiles*.xml does not start with '/'"
Maven is used for the build.
Here is the stack trace:

}
Note: I am using my own CompleteAutoloadTilesContainerFactory to try and
get around this issue, I did this after reading:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TILES-493 (but I am using tiles 2.2.2
so that shouldn't affect me, but I took the advice there and had the
container check if those collections were null and if so initialised
them). if I use
org.apache.tiles.extras.complete.CompleteAutoloadTilesContainerFactory
then: I still get the same error...
