[SOLVED] Problems with ZimbraServer code in Subversion repository

[gil.fernandes]

Hello,

I have been trying to check out the Zimbra code from the subversion repository (https://zimbra.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/zimbra), because I would like to work on some extensions to the Zimbra code and noticed that I cannot compile the module ZimbraServer.

I am using Eclipse and Java 1.6. And then I have checked out the projects ZimbraCommon and also ZimbraIM. The first project I could compile inside Eclipse and the second one two with some basic code modifications. Then I checked out also the ZimbraServer project and here I get lots of errors.

Some of them are pretty obvious to me from the point of view of Java coding, like in class

com.zimbra.cs.imap.ImapLSubOperation

, where we have the constructor code:

ImapLSubOperation(ImapSession session, OperationContext oc, Mailbox mbox, String pattern, boolean children) {
        super(session, oc, mbox, Requester.IMAP, Requester.IMAP.getPriority(), LOAD);

        mPattern = pattern;
        mCredentials = creds;
        mOutputChildInfo = children;
	}

The problem with this here is that

creds

is not declared.

All in all I get 355 errors, but the library and project dependencies seem to be OK.

Now my question is: am I doing something completely wrong ? Is this for external developers the wrong way to go - I mean - to access https://zimbra.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/zimbra and try to build some extensions on the basis of this code?

I would appreciate very much any help concerning this, because all in all I find Zimbra a very good product and would like to extend it.

Kind regards,

Gil

don't use the sourceforge code, it's ancient. i do wish they would mark it as ancient/notobeused given the frequency of this response.

download source tarballs from
