partial failure of recompiled conluence-content-notification plugin

[william]

We think we have found a single point where we can disable inclusion of content  in email notifications. We have compiled and deployed a number of other plugins with no issues.

In thiscase confluence shows only 94 of 106 modules enabled for confluence-content-notification and this breaks all kinds of other stuff in other plugins. I have been messing with the import and export stuff in the atlassian plugin xml. Since we can't use Mavenwe have transformed the plugin into a simple ant project under Netbeans.

I am seeing something like "unable to transforinto actual plugin" and a classnotfound exception for not finding ContetIdPayload so there is some sort of CLASSPATH-esque issue?

Any help would be desperately appreciated.
