xwork-plugin doesn't find package

[Elisabeth Friedrich]

While trying to develop a PLugin with velocity input and output my the Plugin always generates this error:

2012-09-07 12:38:04,301 ERROR [pool-8-thread-3] [confluence.plugin.descriptor.XWorkModuleDescriptor] getPackages Could not add package: {PackageConfig Name:examples namespace: abstract:false parents:[{PackageConfig Name:default namespace: abstract:false parents:[]}]} because: com.opensymphony.xwork.config.ConfigurationException: Action class [com.atlassian.example.ExampleAction] not found, skipping action [hello]
    with nested exception 
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.atlassian.example.ExampleAction

com.opensymphony.xwork.config.ConfigurationException: Action class [com.atlassian.example.ExampleAction] not found, skipping action [hello]
    with nested exception

Whats the reason for this?

It gives me a UnknownHostException when I try to run the command atlas-create-confluence-plugin-module! This is independent from the module-type I choose..

Here's the error:

btw. I can't choose webWork or XWork...

Difficult to say without you sharing code.

Make sure that you use atlas-create-jira-plugin-module to generate the stubs for your modules -- it reduces the number of typos that you'll produce.

I'm developing for confluence, but that shouldn't be the Problem, I think...

here's my atalssian-plugin.xml

<atlassian-plugin key="confluence-peoplesearch-test"
                  name="Confluence Peoplesearch Test" plugins-version="2">
    <plugin-info>
        <description>A PLugin for testing Peolplesearch with Velocity Input and Output</description>
        <version>1.0</version>
        <vendor name="Atlassian" url="http://www.atlassian.com" />
    </plugin-info>
 
    <!-- Registers the macro in a plugin module. -->
<xwork name="My Example Action" key="example-action">
        <description>Shows a simple "Hello, World!" Action</description>
        <package name="examples" extends="default">
            <default-interceptor-ref name="validatingStack" />

            <action name="hello" class="com.atlassian.example.ExampleAction">
                <result name="success" type="velocity">/templates/livesearchaction.vm</result>
            </action>
        </package>
    </xwork>
</atlassian-plugin>

It says, that it can't find com.atlassian.example.ExampleAction...

But why?
