Used refactor to change Java package name in simple Spring app based on the "Introduction to the Spring Framework" tutorial at http://www.netbeans.org/kb/61/web/quickstart-webapps-spring.html. Got warning before refactoring saying: Module Spring Beans threw java.lang.ClassCastException: org.netbeans.editor.ext.ExtSyntaxSupport cannot be cast to org.netbeans.modules.xml.text.syntax.XMLSyntaxSupport. Please report a bug againts Spring Beans module and attach your var/log/messages.log. Proceeded to refactor despite warning. Result was a Spring web app that compiled and deployed OK, but would not run.
