[SOLVED] Deploying a Zimlet in Zimbra Desktop

[mohaps]

I found this link on deploying a zimlet into Zimbra Desktop (zdesktop_0_91_build_1344_win32):
OpenHack2008 - Zimbra :: Wiki


got this error:

I scanned the jar files in the install directory and the ZimletUtil class is not there. Any ideas as to how to deploy the zimlet into ZDesktop?

The command in the wiki works well if you are using linux.
If you use windows, you must replace the : by ;
Use this command instead :

java -cp jetty/lib/*;jetty/common/lib/*;jetty/webapps/service/WEB-INF/lib/* -Dzimbra.config=conf/localconfig.xml com.zimbra.cs.zimlet.ZimletUtil deploy zimlets/com_dimdim_zimlet3.zip

Could you update the wiki with that information, please?

I was also having the same problem, I eventually found out that you have to use '\' instead of '/', plus you have to specifically write the path of the jar files instead of '*'. Hope the code below works for you..

C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Home Directory>\Local Settings\Application Data\Zimbra\zdesktop>jre\bin\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;jettycommon\lib\commons-codec-1.3.jar;jetty\common\lib\json.jar;jetty\common\lib \dom4j-1.5.jar;jetty\common\lib\zimbracommon.jar;jetty\we bapps\service\WEB-INF\lib\zimbrastore.jar -Dzimbra.config=conf\localconfig.xml com.zimbra.cs.zimlet.ZimletUtil deploy zimlets/<Your Zimlet>

[markuswarlich]

For linux.
cd /home/USER/zimbra/zdesktop

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/ZIMLET-NAME.zip

Works for me.

Mac osx is similar to linux:

jmathai@[/Applications/zimbra/zdesktop]: 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 ~/Y/zimlets/com_zimbra_hello.zip

Using zdesktop start/stop didn't work for me as starting seemed to hang. You can right click on the icon in your doc and select shutdown service, and then reopen the app.

On a side note, how do you remove or disable a zimlet in Zimbra Desktop?

[tdesorbaix]

To remove it, try the command you use to install zimlet, and change :

deploy ~/Y/zimlets/com_zimbra_hello.zip

into :

undeploy com_zimbra_hello
