Ross,

Ah, ha!  That's the problem.  I never specified the
directory location in the required plugins line.

You put:

project.required.plugins.src=${forrest.home}/plugins,${forrest.home}/whiteboard/plugins


...

I guess if I add a project.required.plugins.src line
the location map would grab the appropriate source.  I
didn't see that line in any of my seeded projects.

No need to specifically add it. If a property is missing from your local forrest.properties file the default.forrest.properties entry is used, i.e. that copied above.

I added the above line explicitly to a
forrest.properties file and tried running the
dispatcher without building the whiteboard plugins.  I
got a locatiommap error.

This doesn't seem to happen when using a
non-dispatcher configuration.  I've not tried this
with j-random plugins from whiteboard/plugins.

Thanks for doing some testing on this. I've been trying to find the time to establish if this is a dispatcher specific problem or a more general problem with plugin autodeploy.

I've linked this thread to the issue so we don't lose your valuable comments.
