I poked around and found another plugin called "Auto export templates
plugin", which was apparently created by the Auto Export Plugin.

I finally got my templates working by creating such a templates-plugin-jar
offline and upload it to confluence. The Auto Export Plugin recognizes
this. However I have to restart Confluence.

I'm not yet acquainted to this OSGI-plugin-stuff, so I'm not sure, where to
look further...

I have the same problem but I do not understand your workaround. 

Do you create a dummy plugin or do you put your template in the "Auto export
templates plugin"?

Could you maybe upload your/sample "Auto export templates plugin".

Thanks!

Hi there!

If you look into the plugin-cache folder in your Confluence home you should 
find a
plugin with autoexport.templates in its name, e. g.

1257151784273autoexport.templates2124142648190600079.jar

In it you will find a manifest-file and all the styles for the autoexport 
plugin. 
If you have a running 2.10 Confluence, you can try and check there.

The autoexport.templates.jar looks like the following:

  5900 Mon Nov 02 09:49:44 CET 2009 autoexport.ds.vm
  5862 Mon Nov 02 09:49:44 CET 2009 autoexport.vm
   224 Mon Nov 02 09:49:44 CET 2009 META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

autoexport.ds.vm is the stylesheet for the space with key 'ds'
autoexport.vm is the global stylesheet
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF contains the plugin metainformation

So write your vm-styles and wrap them up into a jar und load it just like a 
standard
plugin into Confluence. But be careful, to get the manifest into the jar you 
need to
specify it on the commandline:

jar cvfm autoexport.templates.jar META-INF/MANIFEST.MF autoexport.*

This way autoexport will recognize your customized styles.

Regards
Thomas

Bug in the version of plugins in Confluence 3.0 is causing this.  I worked 
around it
by explicitly uninstalling the bundle first.  Thanks for the ticket.
