Zimbra Desktop Zimlet homebrewed doesn't deploy

[mune72]

I am following the Zimbra wiki's tutorial to create a 'Hello World' zimlet .

I use a Zimbra desktop.

Following a old thread I have been able to 'deploy' my sample zimlet.

It doesn't complain and says everything was ok but (after a kill and a cold startup of the zimbra desktop) there is no new zimlet!

I don't know what else to tray: I give up for this night.

Does anybody has a suggest?

Thanks

While the proposed solution for the deploy in the zimbra desktop is at Zimbra offers Open Source email server software and shared calendar for Linux and the Mac / forums / general-questions / 15925-add-flickr-zimlet.html

I made a .xml file

I .zip it using the zip command

I copy com_zimbra_hello.zip in the dir /home/mune/zimbra/zdesktop/zimlets/

I do

java -cp jetty/lib/log4j-1.2.8.jar:jetty/common/lib/commons-httpclient-3.0.jar:jetty/common/lib/mail.jar:jetty/common/lib/commons-logging.jar:jetty/common/lib/commons-codec-1.3.jar:jetty/common/lib/json.jar:jetty/common/lib/dom4j-1.5.jar:jetty/common/lib/zimbracommon.jar:jetty/webapps/service/WEB-INF/lib/zimbrastore.jar -Dzimbra.config=conf/localconfig.xml com.zimbra.cs.zimlet.ZimletUtil deploy zimlets/com_zimbra_hello.zip

this gives no error.

The dir

/home/mune/zimbra/zdesktop/jetty/webapps/service/zimlet/com_zimbra/

is creatd and it contains

ls jetty/webapps/service/zimlet/com_zimbra_hello/
com_zimbra_hello.xml

But when I reopen the zimbra desktop (after I kill it), the new zimlet doesn't appear.

Does anybody have a suggestion?

I have the same problem. Did you figure out how to get it working?

Yes, a found a solution, but a lot of time is elapsed, so I hope to remember in the right way.

First of all, to test the application, I was using "Zimbra Desktop", which is much more light and faster than the server version.

I remember that the example on a Zimbr'a web page didn't work.

I created

zimbra/zdesktop/jetty/webapps/service/zimlet/_dev/my_zimlet/

And once restarted ZimbraDesktop, the new zimlet was there.

I found the doc is poor and the learning curve is a vertical wall.

Works! Thanks!
