The standalone download of Confluence has a common/lib off of the ${confluencehome} directory. But the EAR/WAR version doesn't. So where to put the jtds-<version>.jar in the EAR/WAR version?
Answer: If you installed the Tomcat 5.5 server, the jtds-<version>.jar goes in the Tomcat installdir/common/lib. Under Windows this might be C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-tomcat-5.5.23\common\lib
JAVA_HOME was c:\j2sdk1.4.2_13 Now: c:\progra~1\java\jdk1.5.0_11
Argued with tomcat for hours, could not get it to server /confluence251. Suspended the machine, then came back the next day, and the localhost/confluence.xml was gone from file explorer! Couldn't see it with dos either! Yet it was still open in an editor, and saving it would still not making it appear! Actually it happened to be open in two editors, and when saved with one editor, the other editor knew the file had been overwritten on disk. But could not see the file with either DOS prompt DIR or with the Windows Vista File Explorer. Very strange. Uninstalling Tomcat, and reinstalling with all options.
Reinstall and select JRE: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_11
Reboot so the old service could be removed, then reinstall with full settings
Note: The confluence.xml file will cause tomcat to run confluence at http://localhost:9090/confluence regardless of what is configured inside the file for a path. So created a new one c251.xml so http://localhost:9090/c251 - Personal license
Reinstall the jtds jar in tomcat / common / lib
Run setup - paste personal license - jdbc direct database connection
SQL Server Configuration Manager - Need to enable tcp-ip on port 1433
After next reboot, the system tray Tomcat manager failed to control the tomcat service. But the service is running, and Confluence local instance can be activated.
I'm new to Idea, and I don't know where to find this in Idea 6.0.5:
JDK Version - This should be set to whatever your target JDK is called in IDEA. On Mac OS X, this is usually '1.4' or '1.5' (without quotes).
I'm using JDK 1.5.0_09, j2re1.4.2_14, jree1.5.0_09, j2sdk1.4.2_14 (which I installed on the get the Java Development Kit). So would I put 1.5, or 1.5.0_09 ? Or maybe I can only do this after I open IDEA go to IDE Settings, then Project Structure, right click JDKs, and add the home directory for j2sdk1.4.2_14, in which case it's name is 1.4? If so, this step of adding this JDK should probably included in the install IDE steps on [Initial development environment setup].
STUCK: The create a confluence IDEA project step seems entirely wrong, their step to build one doesn't work, and there are no .ipr files anywhere.
I've already followed the [initial development environment setup] by installing:
Java(TM) 2 SDK, Standard Edition 1.4.2_14
Maven 2.0.5 Application Server: Download and install Tomcat 5.5.23
Ran the windows service installed. / Port:9090 Subversion Client: SVN 1.4.3 for windows IDE Development environment: Atlassian prefers IDEA. Installed IDEA 6.0.5
*Getting the EAR/WAR distribution
For the step
Creating the IDEA project files
Open a command prompt and enter the following:
cd $CONFBASE
maven atlassian-idea
there is no atlassian-idea file in the main directory of the ear/war distribution for 2.4.5. In fact, there is no atlassian-idea anywhere in the zip, and no confluence.ipr anywhere. Also, Maven with 2.0.5 is called mvn. I tried this:
C:\projects\confluence-2.4.5.earwar>mvn atlassian-idea

So how do I make this Confluence.ipr file? BTW, I've logged CSP-8398 on this.
The documentation provided above is meant for creating IDEA project using Maven 1. I would suggest you to try building again using Maven 1 and let me know how it goes.
Please ensure that you follow through the given steps and configuration and make sure that the following files within confluence-dist are updated and extracted into '$CONFBASE':
Despite being unable to get the confluence.ipr project made for IDEA, I was able to build at least on plugin from the commandline using ANT. Survey of Bundled Plugin Functionality...
Other Questions I Asked On Confluence Wiki
Posted here April 21, 2007, 19:13 to an unanswered question from October 5, 2006:
How do I programmatically create pages?
I need to automatically create new pages from within a confluence plugin, what would be the best method to create these pages?
I also would like an answer to this. I've spent a couple of hours looking through the definitions for [Confluence Objects Accessible From Velocity] and I have yet to find any way to create a page from User Macros. I'd like to see an example for user macros that creates a page and makes it a child of the current page.
Which version of Maven to use for plugins (Confluence Plugin Development Kit|http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence+Plugin+Development+Kit?focusedCommentId=44269846#comment-44269846]:
Confluence Plugin Development Kit says that Maven 1.0 should be used. But 2.0.6 is the current version of Maven. Will 2.0.6 work?
Posted by Garnet R. Chaney at Apr 21, 2007 19:36 | Edit | Reply To This
The PDK is still on Confluence 2.2, which was built with Maven 1. Confluence 2.3+ uses Maven 2.
