Unexpected element &quot {antlib:org:apache:tools:ant}beans Error

[pramod talekar]

Hello,

I'm using the Spring framework 3.0.5 and have a user library consisting of all the spring jars created in Eclipse.

I had created a project earlier and had a configuration file called 'spring.xml' defined in it.
The project ran fine.
Today, I changed the unzipped folder location of spring and then created the user library again based on new location.
But now as I create a configuration file using the same steps I had last week, I get the error "Unexpected element " {antlib:org:apache:tools:ant}beans."

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
		http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd"
	xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"> </beans>

I get the error before </beans> tag.
It means the tag <beans> is not valid, I also tried out changing the location of the config file , moved it in and out of the classpath but didn't help.

Please advise.
