[xwiki-dev] Adding stuff to Maven build to create a plugin

[Radu Danciu]

Thanks for the reply.

This is the link to the gdata java library
http://code.google.com/p/gdata-java-client/ (link to download on the right
side of the page, current version 1.12). The sources in the zip downloaded
need to be ant-ed in order to generate jars that go into the gdata/java/lib
folder (run 'ant' in the gdata/java folder), but beforehand you need to have
javax mail.jar and activation.jar in the path specified within
build.properties (default /tmp/gdata_dep). After said build operation, from
within the lib folder, I need gdata-base, gdata-client and gdata-spreadsheet
placed inside the classpath (optionally gdata-photos also).

That would be all... I think. Should anything be unclear / not working,
there is some (sparse) documentation within gdata/doc, and some readmes in
the example folders, or write me an email/im (rhadoodc on both Yahoo! and
Skype).

Thanks for your time,
Radu
