Andrzej Bialecki commented on NUTCH-427:
-----------------------------------------
JCIFS is licensed under LGPL, so it cannot be included in Nutch distribution. As a consequence, we could add this plugin but it wouldn't be a part of the regular build ...

> Author: Armel T. Nene
> Email: armel.nene NOSPAM-AT-NOSPAM idna-solutions.com
> A. Introduction
> The protocol-smb plugins allows you to crawl Microsoft Windows shares. It implements
> the CIFS/SMB protocol which is commonly used on Microsoft OS. The plugin replicate the
> behaviour of the protocol-file over CIFS/SMB protocol. This plugin uses the JCifs library and also
> support all the properties from the JCifs library.
> You can find more information on the following site: http://jcifs.samba.org/
> The smb protocol syntax is as follow: smb://xxxxx (i.e. smb://server/share) .
>
> B. Installation
> 1) Binaries only: Copy the "protocol-smb" to NUTCHHOME/build/plugins directory.
> Put the "smb.properties" file in the NUTCHHOME/conf directory.
> Configure the properties in "smb.properties" file
> Enable the plugin by updating "nutch-site.xml" file found in NUTCHHOME/conf directory
> 2) Source code: Always refer to the Nutch wiki for detailed instructions on building Nutch. In short:
> Copy the 'protocol-smb' folder to NUTCHHOME/src/plugin
> Update the build.xml in NUTCHHOME/src/plugin to include plugin
> Update the NUTCHHOME/default.properties file to include plugin
> run ant to build
> Copy the 'smb.properties' file to NUTCHHOME/conf, and configure the properties
> Enable the plugin by updating the nutch-site.xml file
> C: Known Issues
> 1) URLMalformedException: unkown protocol: smb
> The SMB URL protocol handler is not being successfully installed.
> In short, the jCIFS jar must be loaded by the System class loader.
> Workaround: a) a short term solutions will be to installed the JCIFS jar
> library found in protocol-smb folder in
> JDKHOME/jre/lib/ext and (or) JREHOME/lib/ext
> b) After completing step a), if the exeception is still thrown
> set the System properties by passing the following arguments
> to the JVM:
> -Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=jcifs
> Also you can visit the FAQ page: http://jcifs.samba.org/src/docs/faq.html
> 2) FATAL smb.SMB - Could not read content of protocol: smb://xxxxxx
> This problem usually occurs if the following properties are not set correctly in
> the "smb.properties" file:
> - username
> - password
> - domain
> Also refer to the following resources for more information on the list of
> available properties and how to set them:
> http://jcifs.samba.org/src/docs/api/overview-summary.html#scp
> Also you can visit the FAQ page: http://jcifs.samba.org/src/docs/faq.html
> N.B. All properties should set in the "smb.properties" file. You can set
> all supported JCIFS properties in the "smb.properties" file.
>
> 3) Only tested on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Please report any tests
> conclusion on other OS. It should also run on any other OS without any change.
