Enable dynamic loading of plugins
---------------------------------

         Key: FOR-741
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-741
     Project: Forrest
        Type: New Feature
  Components: Plugins (general issues)  
    Versions: 0.8-dev, 0.7    
    Reporter: Ross Gardler
    Priority: Minor


Create a new plugin resolving mechanism that loads plugins at runtime rather 
than at startup. We need to modify the Locationmap somthing like this:

<match pattern="plugin.xmap.*">
  <location src="{project:tmp}/{1}/>
  <install src="http://f.a.o/plugins/0.8/{1}/>
  <install src="http://f.a.o/plugins/0.7/{1}/>
  <location src="{forrest:plugin.fallback}/error.pluginNotFound.xmap"/>
</match>

The we can dynamically install features at run time rather than at startup. We 
would even be able to add plugins at runtime.
