If you want to use the projectInfo plugin then you would need to copy
an example status.xml from the projectInfo plugin to your plugin.

But you reduced the site.xml to a completely empty file.

Don't know what that problem is sorry.
I will try to find time to following the procedure myself.

Forrest has to start indexing from somewhere, by default that is 
index.html, reducing site.xml to nothing will make no difference if you 
have an error in index.xml.

I believe your index.xml file is not valid due to an edit you have made.

David, to save you some time, I built a test plugin yesterday when I 
first saw this report. I followed the How_To and it all worked fine for me.

Paul, please start again, but before editing anything do 'ant test' it 
should (and does on my system) work without any problems. Once you know 
you have a working plugin then try copying your index.html file from the 
broken one into the new one. Does it still work?

This will at least confirm or disprove my suspicions.
