Geronimo FTP Server on Fedora 19

Question

I am trying to use the FTP server (factory) in Geronimo 3.0.1 on Fedora 19, in eclipse kepler. I have the following import which produces no error:

import org.apache.mina.*;

However, when I declare

FTPServerFactory ftpFactory;
FTPServer ftpServer;

neither of FTPServer and FTPServerFactory is resolvable. The usual eclipse hints in the editor, which are very cool, offer no help in this case. My build path has the mina-core.jar (This is the only MINA jar that I find in /usr/share/java/apache-mina). The build path dialog flags errors, not explicitly for mina, stating the the following are missing:

org.eclipse.JRE_CONTAINER/
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.uio.launcher.StandardVMType/
java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.25.x86-64

I suspect that my installation is missing other mina jars and am at a loss for the three errors above except that the last one is strange given that the that the build path has

java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0

My environment is all relatively new, so there could be problems in a number of places. Any advice on where to start?

Thanks in advance.

I am not sure what happened when I logged in. Please disregard the empty question. I have the following, which does not produce errors.

import org.apache.ftpserver.ftplet.FtpException;
import org.apache.ftpserver.ftplet.FtpReply;
import org.apache.ftpserver.ftplet.FtpRequest;
import org.apache.ftpserver.ftplet.FtpSession;
import org.apache.ftpserver.ftplet.Ftplet;
import org.apache.ftpserver.ftplet.FtpletContext;
import org.apache.ftpserver.ftplet.FtpletResult;
import org.apache.ftpserver.listener.ListenerFactory;
import org.apache.ftpserver.ssl.SslConfigurationFactory;
import org.apache.ftpserver.usermanager.*;
import org.apache.ftpserver.usermanager.impl.BaseUser;

My build path includes

ftpserver-core-1.06.jar - /usr/share/java/apache-ftpserver/common/lib

A code fragment follows

//Add the user to the FTP server as well.
PropertiesUserManagerFactory userManagerFactory = new PropertiesUserManagerFactory();
userManagerFactory.setFile(new File("myusers.properties"));
userManagerFactory.setPasswordEncryptor(new SaltedPasswordEncryptor());
org.apache.ftpserver.ftplet.UserManager um = userManagerFactory.createUserManager();
BaseUser user = new BaseUser();
user.setName(newCredentials.getUserID());
user.setPassword(ConfigurationValues.get("ftpGenericPassword"));
new File(ConfigurationValues.get("ftpFilesRoot")+newCredentials.getUserID());
user.setHomeDirectory("ftproot");
um.save(user);

I hope this is of use. Takes a little burrowing to sort it out.
