MyEclipse: Error Creating WAR file deployment in Tomcat

Post subject: Error Creating WAR file deployment in Tomcat

I recently upgraded to MyEclipse 5.0.1 GA and tried to create a WAR file for Tomcat for one of my projects that I've always been able to create a WAR file for in the past. When I try to create the deployment, I am getting the following error:

Code:

Deployment is out of date due to changes in the underlying project contents. You'll need to manually 'Redeploy' the project to update the deployed archive.

I read through some other posts and tried what was suggested, but nothing worked. I also tried the following:

-stopping Tomcat, removing the deployment, refreshing the project, executing a clean all, and then redeploying

-I have also restarted MyEclipse several times and tried redeploying

-I have made sure that Tomcat isn't running, etc.

I have tried all of the 'obvious' things to get this working - is this a known bug in the latest version of MyEclipse?

MyEclipse 5.0.1 GA
Eclipse 3.2
Windows XP SP 2
Tomcat 5.5.17
CVS for source control

Is this project special in any way? Does it have other project dependencies or is it just a straight normal project? Did you try restarting using the -clean command line argument?

It isn't really special in any way, except I do have two other projects on the build path. It is using some JAR files contained in these other projects.

The weird thing is, I can create the WAR file okay using MyEclipse 4.1.1.

Did you try refreshing all 3 projects, then going to Project > Clean and cleaning all 3 projects?
If so, can you check your log file (<workspace dir>\.metadata\.log) for any errors that might point us in the right direction?

-clean doesn't help either.

I tried this, and the .log file contains this message after trying to build the war:

What is wrong with "TSCommonJ2EE14"? Is that a User Library you created? You might navigate to your build path and expand that container to see if there are any error or warning markers. The reason you might not have noticed this before (for example if you reinstalled Tomcat to a new dir, and all the paths in this container are now broken) is that Tomcat ships all these libs, so it might "run" fine, but having broken libs in your build path can cause the deployment manager to flip out.
