The plugin knows it requires "bootstrap-1.0.jar"; it needs to fetch it
somehow, unpack it and include the contents directly into the resulting jar.
This can be done in two ways:
- include bootstrap-1.0.jar as a resource in plugin-1.0.jar, so it can be
opened as a resource when the plugin is run (how?)
- "download" bootstrap-1.0.jar from the repository when the plugin is run
(how?)
Release of either bootstrap and plugin are separate; the plugin may become
more complex, but still depend on bootstrap-1.0. And vice versa the
bootstrap code may do some bug fixing, but have no API changes. Although I
would expect that if the bootstrap has a new release, the plugin will as
well.
What I really need to know is either how to include a dependency as a
resource, or how to force-download a dependency in a plugin.
