Roadblocks and MovableTypeImporter

[Chris Kruger-2]

Hello Pebble People,

So after some lengthly procrastination I've decided to more my blog
from blogger to my own domain running pebble.

Last night I tried to bring across my data, transforming it from
blogger->movabletype using the blogger2movabletype scripts contained
within this project
http://code.google.com/p/google-blog-converters-appengine/. That
seemed to work.

Then I tried the MovableTypeImporter within Pebble 2.6.2 but was
blocked by this bug http://open.jira.com/browse/PEBBLE-61

So I decided to take the plunge and fetch the trunk from svn. This
initially seemed to go quite well with everything building from the
command line quite smoothly.

I tried MovableTypeImporter from trunk , but unfortunately it  seems
to suffer from other problems.

Most initially this odd snippet which causes a NPE.

    Configuration config = PebbleContext.getInstance().getConfiguration();
    if(config == null){
      //to prevent NullPointerException upon
UpdateNotificationPingsClient.sendUpdateNotificationPing()
      config.setDataDirectory(args[1]);
      config.setUrl("http://www.yourdomain.com/blog/");
      PebbleContext.getInstance().setConfiguration(config);
    }

So anyway. I'm going to try to fix this and get my blog imported but
I'm hoping to get somewhat of a head start from the pebble folk. At
the moment I'm mostly tripping over getting everything running in
Eclipse.

I'm using Eclipse Indigo. I have the follow problems that I'm hoping
somebody might be able to provide me some assistance with.

1. Lifecycle problems with jaxb maven plugin. It seems the one used in
pebble is an older one, and Eclipse doesn't know what to do with it.
See screenshot.

2. Lifecyle problems with antrun. I've seen this before but don't
remember if or how I fixed it. See screenshot.

3. I've run into the same problems experienced by Nimret (Installation
Issues) last November. Except that I'm running Tomcat 7.0.23. See URL.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
