Hi Taher, this is a follow up to the reviews and comments posted by me and others to the work you have contributed in OFBIZ-7972. Considering the feedback so far, and the minimal risk of side effects that your contribution may cause, I am asking you to commit your code to trunk: in this way it will be easier for all contributors to start playing with this new plugin api.
