I'm trying to integrate Apache ManifoldCF into Alfresco, using Alfresco Indexer plugin from here. According to the docs in the repository, here are the steps I've followed to install alfresco-indexer-plugin and integrate apache manifoldcf:
1. Cloned Apache ManifoldCF from trunk (ManifoldCF), built it using ANT, MVN.
2. Cloned alfresco-indexer repo, built project using MVN, generate alfresco-indexer-webscripts amp, installed it onto local alfresco installtion using module-management-tool.
3. Copied alfresco-indexer-client jar from alfresco-indexer to apache manifoldcf's connector-libs dir.
4. Started alfresco, started manifoldcf, created a new repository connection in manifold webapp to using 'Alfresco Webscript' module.
This is where it's going south. ManifoldCF is unable to establish connection with Alfresco.
Connection Status: Threw exception: 'Alfresco connection check failed'
ManifoldCF logs:

The user credentials being provided to ManifolfCF are alfresco's admin credentials (for testing purpose).

There are also errors in Alfresco that arised when alfresco-indexer-webscritps amp module was installed.
I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong regarding build & deployment of jars or any other. Any help on solving this issue is highly appreciated. Thank you for looking into this.
