Hi David, I know Wido's DEBs do not have VMWare support (at least, the last time I tried to used them). I'll give the RPM's a try, however.
In the meantime: is there additional documentation/wiki/back of a napkin that explains how to build DEB or RPM packages with VMWare support? I would like to have that ability if I decide to write additional plugins for some projects I'm working on. I did try to "hand-roll" an installation on Ubuntu by taking the 3.0.2 version I have now and using that as a template to modify the 4.0.2 /etc/cloud/management/components.xml file, adding the adapters VMWare Discoverer and VMWare HypervisorGuru to the config. I also added the /usr/share/java/cloud-plugins directory with the VMWare base and hypervisor jars ( in addition to the vmware-vim25.jar, vmware-apputils,jar, etc., files), but I encountered numerous classpath/missing jar issues. I (think I) finally resolved those, but the VMwareGuru component will not instantiate/initialize, so I put all of that on hold until I could get some help. So, I'll give Wido's repo a try on CentOS but it would be great to know how to do this on my own as well and would prefer Ubuntu if possible. Thanks for responding. Regards, --Jim L.
