<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Using instructions at <A href="http://openliberty.org/wiki/index.php?title=ECP_Plugin_Documentation&action=edit" target=_blank>http://openliberty.org/wiki/index.php?title=ECP_Plugin_Documentation&action=edit</A>, I have the capability to now mostly build the ECP extensions, but have not succeeded to run the ECP plug-in on windows2008 Enterprise Edition.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Some pretty raw feedback follows:-</FONT></DIV>
<BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Windows does not have a shell to build .sh file scripts, or a zip command. Perhaps, only Eclipse tools (or tool extensions) should be used to build the project to maintain build portability.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had almost no modern personal context on any of the browser/toolchain, but followed steps 1-4 quite easily</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Eclipse 3.2 for Java/EE</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Web Tools latest </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>XUL tool chain latest</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>SVN src control plugin.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>To practice a little with Firefox (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14) and get a basic orientation, I installed the "sxipper" commercial-grade plugin, learning to install/use it on an openid site (where it did fine). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Step 5 was a little more difficult, given I have no recent context in Eclipse or its whole UI concept for the IDE. I did use the IBM JCOP Eclipse for building javacard firmware 3 years ago, and thus half-figured/half-remembered XUL project making/running out, by analogy. I think I figured things out to about 90% completion; but build documentation was just lacking (for a complete novice in this highly technical toolchain).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Step 6 is confusing. I created a txt file (I called it "foo.txt") in C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\81ecn5k5.default. There is no subdirectory there called plugins, note well - taking a hint from the wiki notes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>In the .txt file, I typed one line - </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>a DOS file path to my eclipse workspace/sub-directory wherein lie various files - exactly as checkedout from the SVN repository. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>The line is "</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>C:\Users\Administrator\workspace\saml2_ecp@openliberty.org", at which directory there are several files, including <A href="mailto:tsaml2_ecp@openliberty.org.xpi" target=_blank><FONT face=Arial size=2>saml2_ecp@openliberty.org.xpi</A> - No local build has completed (lacking sh(1) and zip(1) - or alternative instructions)</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I do note that the src file :install.rdf" (that updated_package.sh would zip up into the xpi file along with other resources) has a {GUID} in its ID field. This seems to counter the counsel of the wiki that seems to want the GUID replaced by the string <FONT face=Arial size=2><A href="mailto:saml2_ecp@openliberty.org" target=_blank>saml2_ecp@openliberty.org</A>.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Selecting the extension project root, and Launching the Firefox Launcher does launch Firefox, and allows selection of the default profile. Its not clear the extension is being loaded however, and no ECP add-on appears in the list of add-ons, under Tools.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>The notes might want to suggest an SP site, with which to make a trial - and/or define a means to know at least that the extensions is at least loaded into Firefox.</FONT></DIV>
