Installing Zimbra Plugin

[briandquinn]

Hi,
I'm attempting to install the new Zimbra plugin. I've created the hq-plugins folder at the same level as my server folder. I've tried just dropping in the zimbra-plugin.tar.gz file and extracting in into a sub-folder - but no joy!

I do get this in my server.log

2007-06-29 16:37:56,374 WARN [org.jboss.deployment.JARDeployer] Failed to add deployable jar: file:/opt/hyperic/server-3.0.5/hq-engine/server/default/tmp/deplo
y/tmp36455zimbra-plugin.tar.gz
java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file

How can I tell if the server has picked up the plugin correctly?

Hi there,

Currently, the best way to build plugins with a Java component is to use the PDK. I'll refer you to the plugin development center - http://support.hyperic.com/confluence/display/DOCSHQ30/Plugin+Development+Center

Why are the plugins distributed as a source tarball and not the compiled plugin? Seems like we are making it more difficult than it needs to be.

Yeah, we should probably do both. That is next on the forge agenda 🙂

Thanks for the responses. I'll have a go compiling it!

...and now you can download the .jar file - http://support.hyperic.com/confluence/display/hypcomm/Zimbra
