Bapps folder and non BApp store extensions

Venka | Last updated: Sep 02, 2019 11:05PM UTC

Hey guys, I have a question on how Burp installs extensions from BApp store vs local extensions. It looks like for ones installed from the store, Burp stores them under the bapps folder. However for locally sourced ones, it has a zip file in the temp directory. Why's is like this? I'm asking this because, I need to package a Burp extension which has the UI in Java but uses Python/Jython modules that need to be added to Jython's python.path. It doesn't work if the modules are available only as .zip. I'm also not thinking of having the users manually install these python modules to their Jython lib folder since I feel it's too much overhead. Is there a solution you suggest for this requirement or know of any other means of distributing/packaging the extension so jython.jar can find it dynamically? TIA

Hi Venka, can you clarify what you mean by _locally sourced ones_? Are these extensions that you are loading through 'Manual Install' on the BApp store, or extensions you are adding in the 'Extensions' tab?

Hi Mike, yes, these are extensions that I'm loading manually using the 'Add' option.
