Actually not all whiteboard plugins are listed in your commit nor in the
docu. e.g. viewHelper is missing.

To appear in the plugins index they need to be in the plugins.xml or whiteboard-plugins.xml. You never added viewHelper, so it is not there. I have not added it myself because I thought there may be a reason for it not being present since you had added view (so I assumed you knew you needed to do this).

I'm not very happy with the fact that view and viewHelper have created a dependency in the plugins. I want to sort this out when we start working on views as a community. viewHelper is not really a plugin because it doesn't actually do anything on its own. I believe there should be a fourth type of plugin, a view plugin. Things like viewHelper.xhtml will go into there.

We will still be able to use the same download mechanism it will just stop the plugin list getting confused by the viewHelpers. It is this reasoning that I thought you had left out the viewHelper plugin.

I'm not publishing most of the whiteboard plugins since they are unstable and I think it would be better if only developers have access to them. Some of them have been published because they were in the main plugins directory originally. But none of the new ones have been published.

If you want to publish the docs for them (in order to prevent 404 links you can do so with "ant deploy-docs" (I will be doing all plugin and docs deployments tomorrow after the release candidate has been built).
