New description:

 I've *finally* solved the issue of 403 tomcat errors on Linux with the
 soon-to-be preview 3 release of MGOS 4.0.

 However, this brings up the "problem" where all of the jsp viewer code is
 now using the non-crufty classes in `MapGuideApiEx.jar` instead of the
 crufty classes in `MapGuideApi.jar`

 Since the primary blocker of MGOS 4.0 is functional .net/java/php wrappers
 generated with vanilla SWIG, for java we are going to be generate a
 wrapper whose surface is nearly identical to `MapGuideApiEx.jar`. So to
 ease the transition to this new vanilla SWIG wrapper when it finally
 arrives, we should for the preview 3 release:

  * No longer ship `MapGuideApi.jar` in `www/WEB-INF/lib`
  * Fix all our java viewer and sample code to work against
 `MapGuideApiEx.jar`
