I'm checking the new RichTextEditor feature in RAP 3.1. I've built a simple demo project which consists only of an EntryPoint adding a RichTextEditor-Widget.
When I access the webapp's url it works fine when I set CATALINA_OPTS=-Dorg.eclipse.rap.rwt.developmentMode=true.
Without this option the webapp produces a strange error

I've attached a demo maven project, just unzip and run mvn package, then deploy the War in your Tomcat.
Accessing "/webtest/start" yields the error.
Now set your CATALINA_OPTS to -Dorg.eclipse.rap.rwt.developmentMode=true and restart the Tomcat, everything is fine.

Has anyone an idea what's amiss here?
