Juan Pablo Santos RodrÃguez resolved JSPWIKI-1062.
--------------------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Sadly, pre 2.9 plugins and filters contain on their method signatures instances
of WikiContext, which in turns needs a WikiEngine, which in turn is tied to
several managers, etc.
In order to make this plugins and filters work we'd have to have a complete old
WikiEngine (and classes managed by it, and all the old bugs carried with it) to
redirect the calls to, which would be a major PITA.
As migrating plugins and filters is pretty much straightforward, and for third
party plugins listed at www.ecyrd.com there's code available, I'm closing this
one.
