REPO INSTALL fails without error

Hello everybody,

i am trying to install the javamail's jar into the repo:

-- terminal snip --

basex [gaia] [~/basex] > basexclient BaseX 8.4.1 [Client] Try 'help' to get more information.

Package '/home/basex/install/javamail-1.4.2/mail.jar' installed in 0.43 ms.

Name Version Type Path -------------------------------------------------------------------- ij.ImageJ - Internal ij/ImageJ.jar

-- terminal snap --

It looks like it succeeds but does not do anything!? Is there a good way to debug this issue?

Are there plans to develope/release an office mail module?

Thanks and regards Felix

Hi Felix,

The REPO command cannot be used to install arbitrary JAR files. You’ll either have to copy your jar library to the "lib" directory of the zip/exe distributions (it will then be available after the next start of BaseX), or you’ll have you prepare the as described in our documentation [1]. I have added some more input checks to the install command in the latest snapshot [2] (available in a few minutes).

I remember there has been discussion on that on the list a while ago. Feel free to check out the mailing list archive!
