+1 to the svn folder structure.

On the plugin publish and install, could we consider publish a zip file to maven repository as well as the jars? In production environment, unzip the zip file under plugins and then it can work, or even better, don't unzip it, let it work similar to an android apk file.

主题: Proposal to create a separate svn repository for the OFBiz official plugins

Hello Folks

This is a proposal to the community to restructure our SVN repository.
We do this by separating "official" plugins from the core OFBiz framework and to provide build script tasks to easily download and install these plugins. The details of this proposal are as follows:

1- Relocate OFBiz from http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/ to http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/ofbiz (with all trunk, branches and tags underneath as is)
2- Create a new tree under
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/ofbiz-plugins to house all plugins
3- Remove /plugins/component-load.xml (any component in /plugins will load 
automatically if it is enabled in ofbiz-component.xml)
4- Create a gradle task with the below syntax. This task downloads a plugin from subversion and places it in /plugins and runs any install logic that it may have
    Syntax: pullPluginSource -PpluginId=<plugin-id-here>
    Example: pullPluginSource -PpluginId=birt
5- Refactor the build scripts to cater for all the above
6- Update README.md to reflect all the above

So for example, under this proposal, trunk is located in:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/ofbiz/trunk

And the birt component is located in:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/ofbiz-plugins/trunk/birt

This would allow us to have in the future the ability to provide releases not 
only for the framework but the plugins as well as two separate products.

What do you think?

Cheers,

Taher Alkhateeb
