New to customizing the palette

[chillwabbitt]

Hi, I need some guidance. I have downloaded the money-tasks project, compiled it and packaged it into a jar. I've then added to via eclipse preferences and gone as far as closing Eclipse and restarting it, but it just does not show up in the palette.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I'm using Juno with the latest Activiti designer plugin.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think that particular error should get you into trouble as long as you're testing on the same platform as where you're building the JAR. I assume you get that when building the JAR with Maven?

Another way to tackle this would be for you to attach the resulting JAR file so someone can test it elsewhere and see if the problem is actually in the JAR itself.

I ran Maven command from the cmd line, I see this warning:

[WARNING] Some problems were encountered while building the effective model for org.acme:money-tasks:jar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
[WARNING] 'build.plugins.plugin.version' for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin is missing. @ line 33, column 12

I've tried uploading the jar, but I get an error. Let me see if there is another place I can load this to.

You can grab the file at http://www.gosportsstar.com/money-tasks-1.0.0.zip

Thanks. I can't look into it now, but I'll get back to you.

Hi,

I've tested your JAR in my environment (Indigo) and it works just fine. It shows up in the palette and the shape can be dragged to the canvas. So I think the problem's more likely to be in your configuration than the JAR itself.

Thanks tiesebarrell, now to do some searching, rubber duck. I hope I sort this out quickly.

I'm almost sure the library is somehow not linked to the project properly. I haven't heard of people having problems using this once they had that part setup.
