- A plugin system AND a plugin strong organization
I'm agree to the plugin system but not on plugin strong organization.
Offer good tools to realize some plugin is different that offer a plateform to
deploy and manage a plugin store
We need to concentrate the effort on the core, have some official plugin for
example, special case and define best pratice.
We are to few to maintain the ofbiz core so for me manage a plugin store is more for integrator company or another dedicate community with different
rules.
As I suggested elsewhere, as delivered by the community, this could be as simple as a Maven repository on our demo server and a wiki page to reference
plugins. New plugins would be asked to be put in the Maven repo by creating Jira issues.
Anyway the 1st step is technical: we need to complete the plugins mechanisms to install from a Maven repo not on localhost. I must say I did not test
the current feature yet nor looked at what enhancing it entails...
