Vaadin IBM Challenge - submitting .zip file

General
1

Greetings and apologies for posting here but i couldn’t create a topic on the ‘Vaadin IBM Challenge’ category.

What is the proper way to export the application’s source code as a zip package?

I tried to upload a .zip file several times but it gets rejected afterwards.

So i’m assuming my .zip file is not appropriate?

I’ve allready tried using 7.zip on the project’s location
and i also tried in Eclipse using right mouse click on the project
Export → General → Archive file → Save in zip format.

Thanks in adance for any help.

@Admins: feel free to move my post to the appropriate category if needed.

Hi,

Exporting the project form eclipse as Archive (zip format) should be ok. To save some bytes it is recommended to leave out the “target” directory of the Maven built project as it contains only processed resourses.

Can you try again and if it don’t work, let us know the time when you tried, we could look at the logs to see if there was some hints about the issue or contact you for more details to resolve the issue.

cheers,
matti

Thanks for your reply and will to help.

I managed to upload my completed tasks yesterday and up to now,
12 hours later, none got rejected so i’m assuming it is OK now.

Previously my projects got rejected right after the end of the 1 hour gap that is available for submitting again.

Maybe unchecking the ‘target’ folder was a needed action indeed due to the size of the archive being generated…
