installing a plug-in jar on a 3rd party's software

I'm going by the directions at
<http://www.jamochamud.org/PlugInDocs.html> for creating a plug-in for
the JamochaMUD client. I'm just trying to create a sort of "dummy"
plug-in for now, I'll add functionality later.

Everything compiled ok, and I created TestPlugIn.jar from ant ok. Next
I changed the filename from TestPlugIn.jar to TestPlugIn.jpa and made a
very slight change to the manifest to comply with the specifications
(ant balked at creating a manifest attribute named "NAME").

Then I started up the JamochaMUD client by double-clicking
JamochaMUD.jnlp, and set about installing the "dummy" plug-in.

I selected "install plug-in" and browsed to TestPlugIn.jnp. I selected
to install to /home/thufir/anecho/... but when I take a look in that
directory, I don't see TestPlugIn.jar, which, I think, should be
installed at that path.

for the JamochaMUD client to install the TestPlugIn.jpa, it would have
to save the jar/jpa to a specified location. Is that a false
assumption? So, I'm thinking that TesPlugIn.jpa isn't actually getting
installed, even though there's no error message.

I think that the jar/jap manifest and hierarchy are ok, as is the
source
code. Any thoughts as to why the plug-in isn't installing correctly?
I don't think that this is platform related.



thanks,

Thufir
<http://thufir.lecktronix.net/> has the jar and source code :)
