Hello Everyone, I need some opinions for a PoC that I'm working on for the plugin system (OFBIZ-7972) and appreciate your help:
repository design ---------------------- I am thinking of just having a very simple web server denoted as a repository where the plugins are just zip or tar archives that expand to OFBiz components. For example, if the repository URL is www.example.com then the plugin could be www.example.com/plugins/SpecificPluginHere.tar.gz. It downloads to the specialpurpose (hopefully renamed to plugins) to expand and install dependencies ------------------ This is a complicated subject, and there are a few ideas I have in mind: - Try to deploy the gradle project dependency model - Alternatively write custom dependency resolution However, this might be too complex to kickstart the project, and I think perhaps we can start without a dependency management system and implement it in a later stage. Thank you in advance for your help and feedback. Taher Alkhateeb
