Building the jspwiki-exporter from source

  1. Download the Confluence source.
  1. Download the confluence jar for the version of the Confluence source you downloaded. Confluence jars are located here. If the jar is not there, please send us an email and we'll build one for you.
  2. Extract confluence source, and copy the confluence jar into the WEB-INF/lib directory.
  1. Download the source for jspwiki-exporter (jspwiki-exporter-1.4.1b-source.zip or jspwiki-exporter-1.4.1b-source.tar.gz)
  2. Extract the zip and copy the jspwiki-exporter directory into your confluence directory (the jspwiki-exporter directory should be on the same directory level as the lib directory)
  3. Open a command prompt or console to this directory
  4. Download maven (you must use version 1.0 or greater) if you haven't already done so.
  5. run maven dist to build the exporter
  6. The exporter zips can now be found in target/distributions

jspwiki-exporter-1.4.1b-source.tar.gz (application/x-gzip)
jspwiki-exporter-1.4.1b-source.zip (application/x-zip-compressed)

Any possibility of getting this updated for the 1.4.1b release of jspwiki-exporter? I'd like to dig into the source a little and see about adding some better logging.

I've added the new source zips for the version 1.4.1b of the exporter.

Cheers,
Dave

Have you guys actually tried to follow these directions? I mean seriously.

0) "maven rc2"? I go to the maven site, and I'm presented with 1.0 versions, 1.1 beta2, and alphas for 2.0. No rc's. Which code line anyway?
1) Ok
2) what source zip? what are you talking about?
4) whose lib folder? the mysterious confluence source I assume?

All I'm saying is, if you write instructions that are enumerated, it really pays to delete all your old files, and try to follow the instructions you just wrote. I never write them correctly the first time either, and they still need work after the first set of edits even. But they can be good!

As it stands, I guess I'll muddle through, but I could use the help good directions would give.

Mike,

These are, as you said, outdated instructions. I've updated them slightly so they are less ambiguous. We recommend downloading the binary for now if these instructions still do not work.

Cheers,
Dave

These certainly are less ambiguous now - I was able to get it to build, but using slightly different steps and I haven't run my build yet. I will probably rebuild using these steps (and I'll let you know if any deviations are needed)

Either way, thanks for updating these. We have an in-house hacked-up version of JSPWiki (it has multiple spaces built on it) that I'm trying to export, so its important to me, and I have to get this to work one way or another, but the easier the better
