Moving discussion from Jira ticket to dev list as suggested by Hugo.
Request from Kawai-san:
There is no place to put plugin jar files for cloudstack agent program
now, while management server program has default @PLUGINJAVADIR@ where
plugin classes will be loaded into server at startup.
We will need to load a class, for example when we try to use a custom
"libvirt.vif.driver" which can be configured at agent.properties.
Suggestion by Marcus:
I'd actually defer to the guys who have been working on the packaging. It
seems like it would be distribution specific, and handled by the startup
scripts.
The obvious solution to me would be to create a directory, say
/usr/share/cloudstack-agent/plugins, and append that to the classpath in
the init scripts so that the agent can see the plugins copied there.
Sounds very good to me! The init scripts can do that, no problem.
I would indeed use a "plugins" directory which is by default empty since
what we distribute goes into "lib". While you could place your plugin in
the "lib" directory I wouldn't recommend it.
Maybe go a step further and make a symlink /etc/cloudstack/agent/plugins;
easier for admins to find.
Nack, that symlink will start haunting us at some point I think. /etc is
also for configuration, not for plugins. Better point the admin into the
right directorion.
We can always add a comment in the example agent.properties.

Noa, Hugo and I are happy with that solution, but if anyone has any
thoughts, please let us know.
Thanks,
Dave.
