I wanted to be able to step through source to get a handle on what OE is doing, so I downloaded the starter ROOT then grabbed the latest oe-core from Anthill and replaces the openedit-5.979.jar with the openedit-dev.jar that was produced in the deploy directory.. This is running under Tomcat 6.0.20

When I launched tomcat, the root app stopped working, here is what I was able to dig up..

In GeneratedResourceLoader.getPageManager, it returns a null engine for getApplicationAttribute which causes a NPE to be thrown.

but I think the real problem is,  that VelocityGenerator.setOpenEditEngine is not called before VelocityGenerator.init() which sets the Velocity property. Since it was not called prior, the value stored in the properties is null..

Odd thing is, in Anthil, there is a different project called oesandbox, which the newly built dev jar works fine. I would continue with oesandbox, but the HTML code generation seems off, the popup overlay for the edit controls are always expanded and exist on the same z layer as the page and I after I went to layout mode, I lost the OE toolbar and was not able to determine how to get it back..

Thanks
