I am trying to install the Geoserver Scripting Extension - Python (description). After downloading geoserver-2.17-SNAPSHOT-python-plugin (my Geoserver is 2.17.0) I followed the instructions:
Extract the contents of the archive into the /WEB-INF/lib/ directory of GeoServer. For example, if GeoServer was installed at /opt/geoserver-2.2.2/, extract the archive contents in /opt/geoserver-2.1.0/webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF/lib/.
Restart GeoServer.
But - the scripting extension does not show in my menu. Extension path is '/opt/tomcat/webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF/lib'. Geoserver Version is 2.17.0. In my lib folder I now find libraries like gt-process-geometry-23.0.jar as well as gt-process-geometry-23-SNAPSHOT.jar. Should I delete 'gt-process-geometry-23.0.jar'? This is the case (a ...23-SNAPSHOT.jar) with all the jar files included in 'geoserver-2.17-SNAPSHOT-python-plugin'. I assume that the SNAPSHOT jars include the Python Scripting Extension and no additional python.jar needs to be added? I therefor need to delete the files ending with geometry-23.0.jar?
EDIT: I did remove all '*-23.0.jar' and restarted. Still no scripting extension visible. What could be the possible problem? I recently instaled the WPS extension the same way.
