This folder contains source code for an example "Hello World" style
plugin. It features a plugin which has a configurable message (the
default being "Hello World") which is displayed as a notice message
when an OpenDS instance is started.

In order to build and use this example plugin, perform the following
steps (presumably you are already at step 4):

1. In the top-level source folder for OpenDS, first build and
package OpenDS:

./build.sh

2. Next go into the packages folder:

cd build/package/OpenDS-0.1

3. Then unzip the example-plugin.zip (in place):

unzip example-plugin.zip

4. Go into the example-plugin source folder:

cd example-plugin

5. And build the plugin (this requires Ant in your path):

ant install

6. This will copy the following files into the parent OpenDS
installation:

lib/extensions/example-plugin.jar
config/example-plugin.ldif
config/schema/99-example-plugin.ldif

7. Add the plugin's config to the server configuration. The
following instruction assumes usage of the Unix 'cat'
command, but obviously ldapadd can be used:

cd ../config
cat example-plugin.ldif >> config.ldif

8. Start the server and look for the "hello world" notice in the start
up log:

cd ..
./bin/start-ds
