    Sorry to say the extension is not supported by CA as part of the product software. 

    When you say you are unable to build the JAR, do you mean it contains compile errors that prevent the build or is there a different issue?

     

    Your challenge / experience with custom JARs brings up an important point for everyone to consider.

    Often custom JARs leverage DevTest framework components and classes as well as 3rd party JARs. 

    As DevTest product improvements occur, DevTest classes may change without notice including moving from one package to another. Similarly, the 3rd party, open source JARs on which some of the older extensions are built may also change or go out of support.

     

    I believe the extension you are referring to was generated circa 2015 which likely means it was built on a combination of Java 7 and possibly an older version of DevTest (maybe v7.5). This may or may not be a reason for build issues.  Lastly, I would verify that any 3rd party JARs used by the extension are still viable as they may or may not use Java 8 compatible features.

    Hello Joel,

    Is there a way we can take this old extension and build it for DevTest 10.3? We have a requirement for running shell scripts and need some plugin like this one. Opened a support ticket, but was directed to communities for help.

    Manju,

     

     As note by Joel, customer extensions are not supported out of the box with DevTest.  I would reach out to CA Professional Services via your CA Account Manager for assistance. 

     

    You can also refer to this documentation , which is just a guide for customizations:

    I would agree with MarcyNunns, one option is to contact CA Professional Services for assistance.

    If the Java Code was packaged in your copy of the SSH utility, try importing the code into an IDE (Eclipse, IntelliJ, etc.) fix any Java 8 incompatibilities, compile, and export a new version of the JAR.  If the utility relies on other JAR files, obtain the correct versions of those JARs as well.
