Hi Devs, I am facing issues in loading jars required for plugins while running Nutch in local mode.
I am doing the following : 1. add a dependency in <some-plugin>/ivy.xml 2. ant clean runtime Now, when I print the classpath before running, the /bin/nutch script does not seem to be adding those jars on to the classpath and throws runtime exceptions. To mitigate this I added the dependency in the root ivy.xml. I don't know if I am missing something here or anyone else has faced the same issue and found a solution. For example - https://github.com/apache/nutch/tree/master/src/plugin/publish-rabbitmq, the dependency for amqp-client had to be added in the root ivy.xml as well for it to not throw runtime exceptions (ex - ClassNotFound) I have a created a patch which modifies the ./bin/nutch script to load the plugin jars onto the classpath which is attached below. This patch eliminates the need to modify the root ivy.xml for plugin specific dependencies. I wanted to ask the devs first if there was already a solution before filing a JIRA issue. If not, I'll submit it through JIRA. Thank you for your help. Regards, Sujen Shah
