Now that plugins has been implemented, would hot-deploy be necessary? As I've mentions in OFBIZ-9244, I think keeping hot-deploy would be useful for those that are prototyping new components that might or might not be open sourced later. My view is that the plugins directory are for open sourced or commercial components that could be downloaded from known repositories. Whereas, the hot-deploy directory is for local developments/prototypings. From an in-house developer's view point with multiple proprietary components in development, I find that mixing in-house and downloadable components confusing. I.e. difficult to locate my own components in the midst of all the available downloaded components (there are 12 of them). On the other hand, Jacques Le Roux takes the position that all plugins (open sourced, commercial, in-house prototypes) should all be located in one place. You opinions are greatly appreciated.
