Hi Ross,

Thanks a lot for your answer, so I try the manual way.

I put the zip in the D:\DATA\apache\apache-forrest-0.7\build\plugins 
directory

org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.feeder.zip

ERROR
=====

Unable to retrieve the org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.pdf plugin.
There may be more information about the reason for this in output
above. The usual cause is that Forrest has been unable to download
the plugin descriptor file that indicates where this plugin is to be
downloaded from. If you are behind a firewall then set the proxy.host
and proxy.port values in the forrest.properties file.

You may also like to check the value of the
forrest.plugins.descriptors property in the forrest.properties file
and ensure that the locations indicated by that value are accessible
(note there should be no spaces in this property).

If your proxy uses http basic authentication we could add the facility 
to provide a username and password in your user properties file. If this 
will be of use please raise an issue on our issue tracker.

You can manually install the plugins you need by downloading the zip 
files you need (their locations are indicated at 
http://forrest.apache.org/pluginDocs/plugins_0_70/index.html These zips 
should be unpacked into FORREST_HOME/build/plugins

I thought I said they needed to be unzipped into the directory? I 
certainly meant to.
