This really shouldn't be hard, but I am struggling to install a plugin from
the local directory. I have tried ./bin/plugin -install where
the path is to the jar file, but that doesn't want to work. I've also
tried just copying the src directory to the plugin directory, but that
doesn't want to work either. I realise that this is something trivial, but
I just don't know how to install it. If you install it from the zip file,
what should be in the zip file? I tried using the .zip generated by maven
under the release folder, but that doesn't want to work. The closest I got
was by by specifying a file: url (./plugin -url file:/location) and then
-install the plugin, but that doesn't want to work. Here is the output:
./plugin -url file:../plugins/ -install elasticsearch-analysis-bb-1.3.0
-> Installing elasticsearch-analysis-bb-1.3.0...
Trying file:../plugins/...
Downloading .DONE
failed to extract plugin [/path/plugins/elasticsearch-analysis-bb-1.3.0.zip]
Identified as a _site plugin, moving to _site structure ...
Installed elasticsearch-analysis-bb-1.3.0
The path to the zip file is correct, but that does not want to work. It
destroys the zip file and creates a folder with the name of the file that
is empty.
Installing a plugin is just download it from a repo, unzip it in the
plugins folder.
But it seems that your analysis-bb plugin is seen by ES as a site plugin.
Not sure if it's you really want.
What you can do is to create a plugins folder under ES dir.
Create a dir named : elasticsearch-analysis-bb
Move all your jars (the plugin jar and its dependencies) in
plugins/elasticsearch-analysis-bb dir
Then, start ES and see in logs if the plugin is also started.

You are my hero... it really was as simple as that. I didn't realise that
ES will pick up the plugins on launch by itself; I thought you have to tell
it somehow to use it. Thank you kindly.
