Hmm, we have a xmlimport application in applications haven't we?
It think classes are (should be) present in mmbase-xmlimporter.jar, not in mmbase.jar.
Well, thanks for pointing that out. I thought they were in the mmbase.jar since i didn't look yet in /WEB-INF/lib directory to find the mmbase-xmlimporter.jar present. I tested it and it worked - after some fixes i checked in and that you apparently noticed on the cvs list - that was enough for me.
Community application is only installed _in the distro_ because it provides one of the examples. The module should be active, because there is no easy way to install modules. The builders will be installed by installing the appliction, but the module _will not_. Therefore it seems reasonable that the module must be in the distro and also be active.

I don't quite agree. There is an 'examples installation page' in mmexamples/install.jsp which will in most cases straightforwardly install those builders (only not when you lack write permission on file system, one of the sad consequences of the fact that the files need to be copied), after which the community examples will work, provided that the community module is active. So, since there is no way to switch a module to active, we figured that it should have been active to start with.
Ah, i understand. But following that line of thought i believe that the XML importer should be made active to, doesn't it? I mean, its JSP's are in the distribution, its JAR is, but because of some errors that have been corrected now only it's configuration files were missing.

Of course for 1.8 we then put all our hopes on the myth of apps2, using which it will undoublty be possible to install and activate modules in a decent way.
I can't help having the impression that you are a bit sarcastic here :-)
