[Ivyplugins-user] Unable to install IvyPublisher

[John B. <joh...@ri...>]

Hi

I'm trying to use IvyPublisher 2.0 on my CruiseControl 2.8.4 build server with Ivy 2.2.0.
I've copied IvyPublisher-2.0.jar into the cruisecontrol\lib folder and have added
<plugin name="ivypublisher" class="net.sf.ivypublisher.IvySuccessPublisher">
<property name="common.basedir" value="${CCDIR}/projects/prc42/PRC4Common"/>
</plugin>
to my config.xml file.  However, I am getting a null pointer exception in instantiatePluginClass 
when cruise control reads the config file. (Full stack trace at end of email).
How is one meant to install plugins into Cruise Control, and is IvyPublisher compatible with ivy 2.2 
and CruiseControl 3.8.4?

Many Thanks
John Burgess
