activiti-5.0.rc1 - demo setup doesn't run?

[sherod]

I'm getting ' taskdef class org.activiti.engine.impl.ant.LaunchTask cannot be found' when running 'ant demo.setup'  after downloading and unziping activiti-5.0.rc1.

I'm using Ant 1.8.1 and JDK 1.6.0_21

Any thoughts?

Okay, I looked into it myself.

Had to update the the build.xml file and fix the following section, note the commented out:<!–include name="activiti-cycle-${activiti.version}.jar" /–>

  <target name="internal.classpath.libs" depends="examples.get.libs.engine">
    <path id="classpath.libs">
      <fileset dir="${activiti.home}/examples/activiti-engine-examples/libs-runtime">
        <include name="*.jar" />
      </fileset>
      <fileset dir="${activiti.home}/examples/activiti-engine-examples/libs-test">
        <include name="*.jar" />
      </fileset>
     <!–TODO: not really sure if this a good solution. Maybe create an own target for the activiti.cycle classpath–> 
     <!–added for testing–>
        <fileset dir="${activiti.home}/lib">
          <!–include name="activiti-cycle-${activiti.version}.jar" /–>
    <include name="*.jar"/>
        </fileset>
    </path>
  </target>

Also had a missing h2*.jar, this was downloaded manually.

Now getting…

[sherod]

Had to update <taskdef name="deploy-bar" classname="org.activiti.engine.impl.ant.DeployBarTask"> to this:

<taskdef name="deploy-bar" classname="org.activiti.engine.impl.ant.DeployBarTask">
      <classpath>
        <pathelement path="files/demo"/>
        <fileset dir="build">

              <include name="*.jar"/>
        </fileset>
      </classpath>
    </taskdef>

And now activiti-rest isn't deploying due to this:

So, I copy the lib files from \activiti-5.0.rc1\lib\ into the WEB-INF\lib directory for the activiti-rest directory and I've resolved my ClassNotFound…

Only to get this:

At which point I give up on getting this to run under Windows 7.    Hopefully some magic difference will occur on Linux.

Have you tried to start from a blank distro?
It can happen that when something went wrong while installing the demo-setup with maven (eg. wrong proxy config), the demo is left in an inconsistent state (with libraries missing).
What also helps is deleting the /libs-runtime/ and /libs-test/ in the distro's example projects (this is where the libraries are downloaded to) and runnin ant demo.setup again.

This issue is addressed in the next release, 5.0 where maven is no longer used to get dependencies for the demo-setup (will be released December 1st).

It works out of the box under ubuntu.

I had previously removed the \activiti… directory and re-downloaded and unzipped it.

Also had moved my .m2 directory aside and re run it.

Getting it working under linux is good enough for now….
