Steps to reproduce:
0. Install LCDS.. just run the installer and let it install the files in some directory
1. New > Flex Project > J2EE with LCDS > Next
2. Check "use default location for local LCDS server" and point the root at the root directory that the LCDS installer creates -- i.e. "/lcds251", not "/lcds251/flex"
   --> I think this will be a typical "mistake"
3. Look at the validation message
 
 Actual Results:
Invalid root. The WEB-INF/flex folder must contain either flex-config.xml or services-config.xml.

The problem is -- and I've seen this happen -- you don't necessarily realize that you must point the "root" at the parent folder of WEB-INF. This leads you to think that something is wrong inside of your WEB-INF folder. This may be a common problem because we use the term "root" here to refer to what is actually a *subfolder* of the initial LCDS installation directory.
 
 Expected Results: This used to use the message:
This is not a Flex root folder. It should contain a "WEB-INF/flex" subfolder with a Flex configuration file.

Diagnosis: It looks like when we did the server projects overhaul we started using a new, less helpful message for this validation error. The old (expected) one is still there though, so this is actually fixable for 3.0. Resource: wizard.FlexProjectServerSetupPage.Message.notFlexRootFolder in ProjectResources.properties.
