[jira] Commented: (FOR-547) Plugins are not installed when calling forrest via Ant (forrest.build.xml:site)

["Ron Blaschke (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-547?page=comments#action_12314950 ] 

Ron Blaschke commented on FOR-547:
----------------------------------

The problem seems to be caused by ant-contrib-1.0b1.  Once I removed the jar from my classpath, the ant script worked fine.  Even better, ant-contrib-1.0b2 doesn't seem to cause any problems.

It can easily reproduced by copying ant-contrib-1.0b1.jar to %FORREST_HOME%\lib\endorsed, any running forrest init-plugins, with a plugin missing.

I guess the FAQ should contain a warning for ant-contrib-1.0b1, and this issue can be closed.
