Greetings,

I have just installed Gemini 2.05 and I am very impressed. However before I purchase, I have been attempting to make a start on integrating Gemini with our Perforce source control system.

I have developed a basic plugin DLL according to the documentation but Gemini always spits an error to it's log stating that it "cannot create an abstract class".

I have checked all the forums and followed tha advice I have found there but this has not helped. I am deriving my class from AbstractIssueListener and have verified that I am overriding all the interface methods.

I though it might be that I was using VS.NET 2005 and .NET 2.0 but I have tried compiling my plugin using .NET 1.1 and this made no difference. I have also tried placing the plugin DLL in both the bin and bin/plugins directories just to be on the safe side.

I even copied the source code of the sample mail plugin and then stripped out all the SMPT and SQL code so that it provided a skeleton. Still I get the same error message.

What am I doing wrong?

Here is my code and I can provide a compiled version if required. Please help, this is a show stopper for us using Gemini.
