This works fine on 6.0 and 6.5 vCenter, but not on 5.5.1. I can see the jars on the server but for some reason it is unable to pick it up

localhost:/usr/lib/vmware-vsphere-client # find . -name *spring-web*

./server/repository/ext/spring-web-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar

./server/repository/ext/spring-webmvc-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar

./server/repository/ext/spring-webmvc-portlet-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar

localhost:/usr/lib/vmware-vsphere-client # pwd

/usr/lib/vmware-vsphere-client

in my MANIFEST.MF I have the following under import-packages
