I just installed the beta 4 which went very smoothly.
When I moved over the catalog.xml and feature_types from my beta 3 environment, it was very unhappy. Replacing the gt2-main.jar with the one from beta 3 made it happy again.
This is the error on stderr:

The following lines from stdout may be related:

Any ideas?
