sorry, this is wrong; it works except the plugins as in 0.7.
after performing steps 1 and 2, but it still doesn't work due
to some location-map thing?!
  Could not find ... [org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.input.InputModule/lm]

Tomcat service starts again after removing the forrest-generated webapp
directory. Copying the webapp back gets forrest back running -- until
I stop tomcat again.
