helloworld.tar.gz is not valid archive

[sratatata]

Hello,
I can't extract files from helloworld-examples helloworld.tar.gz archive. Debian gzip and tar apps can't extract files. Maybe there was some problems during file uploading?

Best regards,

Hi,

I will review this example and get back to you with corrected explanations where required.
While the plugin isn't as user friendly as I should like I still use it daily so it should be possible to get to work.

Sincerely,
Sebastian

I don't seem to have problems extracting the archive.

I seem to be able to run this example normally. Provided the script can download the plugin from a maven repository.
At the time I didn't know how to submit modules for inclusion in maven central. I'll try and have a version up there in the near future.

You did not mention on what system you are running the script. It is currently not portable so you will need to install a bunch of packages to run it properly.
E.g: it won't run on windows. Anyway the full list of installed packages you will need is:

• devscripts
• build-essential
• fakeroot
• cdbs
• patchutils
• debhelper

I used to link to the ubuntu wiki documenting this process but I just noticed the page has been removed. I'll have to look that up again.
