What does this error message mean?

[M.L. Jackson]

Honestly, I downloaded this version as an update a while back and I remember 
it being a pain so I haven't been looking forward to updating again.  I 
continued this project from someone else and always have to figure out where 
all the files are located and what I actually need to download.  I guess I 
am now forced to update.

The reason I posted the code snippet is that the error only seems to show 
when I add this code to my Java bean.

Thanks for your replies.
