[Hit] Issue with the "Synchronise" step

[Kyle Braak (GBIF)]

Hi Natasha,

Thank you for trying to get the HIT to work on Windows XP and for  
bringing the errors you saw to my attention.

A new version working for Windows XP has now been made available.

I urge you to update the source code across the various projects, or,  
try taking the new WAR that I've made available here: http://gbif-indexingtoolkit.googlecode.com/files/hit-0.9.3.war 
  that I've tested on XP with the same versions of Tomcat and MySQL  
that you used yourself.

Important: the instructions for creating the databases have changed.  
So too have a couple of the configuration instructions. They are just  
some minor changes really, such as enforcing the character set UTF-8  
be used, and that the harvest.directory property (in the configuration  
properties file) be set especially for Windows, but they are necessary  
in order to get the newest version to work. Therefore, please recreate  
the two databases and reconfigure the application accordingly.  
Assuming you were using the installation instructions for developers,  
you could review these steps here: http://code.google.com/p/gbif-indexingtoolkit/wiki/InstallationForDevelopers

Should you encounter any additional problems please let me know. If  
any of the documentation needs clarification as well, please let me  
know as well.

Best of luck, and thanks again for your help.

Kyle
