Hi list,

after  a long time (more than one year) without working  with computers due to
several problems I'm trying to come back to my normal activity with computers.
One of the first things I'm trying to do is to update my dispatcher website
(www.vitables.org) but I'm unable to do it. I've done a fresh trunk check out
which built with no problems (just a couple of deprecation warnings):

After that I've created a sample site with $ forrest seed, copied the
forrest.properties* files to my real site folder, and added my required
plugins to the forrest.properties file:

# project.required.plugins=org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.pdf
project.required.plugins=org.apache.forrest.plugin.internal.dispatcher,org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.feeder,org.apache.forrest.themes.core

Then I run $ forrest run. It fails. The output is lenghty but the only errors I
see are the following:

    WARNING - Cannot find the plugin description
    ============================================

    Unable to find the description of org.apache.forrest.themes.core
in the different descriptor files.
    This plugin used by this project (declared in
project.required.plugins variable of the forrest.properties).
    Forrest will stop the generation now.
    To correct this :
      - Check the name of the plugin and correct it in case it is wrong,
      - Add the missing descriptor file in the list in the
forrest.plugins.descriptors variable (forrest.properties) if
necessary...

Total time: 8 seconds

So although in the past I used the plugin org.apache.forrest.themes.core without
problems it seems I cannot do the same now. Please, could somebody tell me how
to fix the problem?

Thanks,

Vicent
