FitNesse Maven Classpath plugin (ClassNotFoundException)

Question

I followed the instructions the README of https://github.com/amolenaar/fitnesse-maven-classpath.

I have a fitnesse-standalone.jar and in the same directory, i have the below plugin.properties file:

Theme=bootstrap
SymbolTypes=fitnesse.wikitext.widgets.MavenClasspathSymbolType

The directory structure is as follows:

05/27/2014  06:19 PM         6,309,648 fitnesse-standalone.jar
05/27/2014  06:20 PM    <DIR>          FitNesseRoot
05/27/2014  06:24 PM                15 plugins.properties   

I executed the below:

java -jar fitnesse-standalone.jar

And I got the below error:

Exception in thread "main" fitnesse.PluginException: Unable to load class fitnesse.wikitext.widgets.MavenClasspathSymbolType

    ... 5 more

Does anyone know how to make this work? How do I "install" the fitnesse plugin?

Thanks

Answer 1

1. Create a plugins folder in the same dir as fitnesse-standalone.jar.
2. Build and compile the plugin via mvn
3. Copy the jar(s) in your plugin folder
4. Add the string "SymbolTypes=fitnesse.wikitext.widgets.MavenClasspathSymbolType" in your plugins.properties file
5. Run fitnesse-standalone.jar
