[xwiki-devs] Cant Load Plugin xwiki 1.4

[marlon hendred]

My directory structure was wrong.

I moved the class files up a directory and created the jar and every
thing works fine now.

$] jar cf my-plugin-1.0.jar com/xpn/plugin/myplugin/*.class

rather than:
$] jar cf my-plugin-1.0.jar com/xpn/plugin/myplugin/MyPlugin/*.class

Thanks!
