Unable to locate NamespaceHandler core

Question

org.mule.api.lifecycle.InitialisationException: Initialisation Failure: Configuration problem: Unable to locate NamespaceHandler for namespace [http://www.mulesource.org/schema/mule/core/2.1]

I know that you have to add stuff you need to mule's classpath, but how can it not handle the core?

My config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

">

...etc

Answer 1

The solution was simple, I did not have version 2.1 (but 2.2 or something).
