[Ivyplugins-user] Cruise 2.6 throws NullPointerException - Bug in documentation

[Daniel S. <dan...@dt...>]

Hi,

i installed cruisecontrol-2.6 which works
very well. Because we own a big ivy-repository,
i want to integrate ivypublisher to cruise - but
it failed with the error below.

- Modifications to cruisecontrol.sh
	CRUISE_PATH=$CRUISE_PATH:$HOME/ivypublisher/lib/ivy.jar:$HOME/ivypublisher/dist/ivypublisher-1.0.jar

- modifications to config.xml (like described in the documentation)
         <!-- Preconfigure our plugins -->
         <property name="projectdir"   value="${env.WORK_DIR}/checkout/${project.name}" />
         <plugin name="ivypublisher"
                    class="net.sf.ivyplugins.ivypublisher.IvySuccessPublisher"
                    ivyfile="ivy.xml"
                    rmiport="1099"
                    config="config.xml"
                    project="${project.name}"
                    basedir="${projectdir}" />
- Exception:

Solution ("classname" instead of "class"):
         <plugin name="ivypublisher"
                    classname="net.sf.ivyplugins.ivypublisher.IvySuccessPublisher"
	  	   ....

TODO: Can somebody fix this in the ivypublisher documentation ?

regards

Danny
