Just wanted to note for anyone who's interested. the EASY way to fix 
this ridiculous problem is not to change folder names or anything like 
that, but merely create a file within your server /WEB-INF/lib directory 
that has a name that contains 3.1 in it... solved!

Stupid thing.

This solves it to the extent that the IDE will accept it and you can 
continue to create projects etc. It does not mean that doing a build 
will work, as it takes the name of the file you've created as the 
context root. However you should be able to manually edit the context 
root attribute in the laszlo setup window after picking the web root and 
it should work.

(I don't know as I don't use the build feature of the IDE).
