Here is a funny thing: jdbc.properties on my laptop defines
mesquite.folder_dir=/home/rvosa/applications/mesquiteHeadless/ 
Mesquite_Folder/
(which does not exist)
Despite this, mesquite appears to start and do its job when I run tests!

As for the webapp, do you think there is a chance mesquite.folder_dir  
may hold a *relative* path, exactly to the treebase/lib directory that  
is created by unpacking the WAR?

That was the reason for the question -- I had a speck of hope I did  
not have to dig through that page  ;-)
