[Geoserver-devel] "A Simple Plugin" example possible without Geoserver build?

Over the last few weeks, I've made repeated attempts to build the
GeoServer source, without success.

Since I'm coming to the end of the time I've got allocated for this and
(at least initially), all I want to do is build the "Simple Plugin"
example:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/3+A+Simple+PlugIn

is it possible to achieve this using the geoserver binary distribution?
I ask because the AbstractService class (for example) appears to be
absent from the bundled jarfiles.

Thanks,

Jerry.

Hi Jerry,

Thats too bad about not being able to build GeoServer from sources. From your previous messages it seems that you are building the trunk sources. The tutorial listed below works against the 1.5.x version of geoserver and below and seems to be written against 1.4.x.

You should not need to build geoserver sources to run the tutorial. The version ( 1.4.0-M0 ) of which the tutorial is written against is posted is available in the maven repository ( specified in the pom in the tutorial ). So all the geoserver binaries will be downloaded when you compile your plugin.

Let me know if you have any problems.
