[Building Sakai] Blackboard

Tue Nov 8 07:15:54 PST 2011

1) I moved the sakai-import-announcement JAR
2) I moved the sakai-import-bb6-resource-2.8.0.jar into import-pack/WEB-INF/lib
in this folder i notice that i have the import-impl-1.1.2 and 1.1.3, but i dont have the import-api, do I need this also?? 

3) I have uncommented the bb6 parts in components.xml

4) I have the zip file in the ${sakai.home}/archive/ folder.

This time I did get a stack trace:

Other items to check:

1) If you have a sakai-import-announcement JAR in
components/sakai-anouncement-import (yes, anouncement spelled incorrectly),
move that JAR into components/import-pack/WEB-INF/lib and then completely
delete components/sakai-anouncement-import

2) Make sure that all of your import JARs are in components/import-pack and
*not* in shared/lib

3) Edit components/import-pack/WEB-INF/components.xml and uncomment the BB
parts.  Please post your components.xml if you continue to have issues.
