I was a little confused by this -- which JAR should I not be creating?
I assumed I would create a JAR called
ibm_bluepages_authentication-1.0.jar with my AuthenticationScheme and
factory classes in \repository\server\DAISY_MERLIN_REPO\ibm\jars.

I added an include to the main block.xml and exported the JAR with its
own block.xml (is this necessary?), and got the following error when
starting the repository:

Any ideas?

Thanks!
