             Summary: Make ext js plugin detection more flexible
                 Key: OOZIE-2254
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-2254
             Project: Oozie
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: site
    Affects Versions: 4.2
            Reporter: Mark Grover


Currently, oozie expects the ext js module to be installed in a particular 
location under the tomcat root. See this for example:
https://github.com/apache/oozie/blob/master/webapp/src/main/webapp/index.jsp#L35

That means that if I have a tarball built and I switch from one tarball to 
another, I have to move my ext module or create a new symlink which is very 
painfully unmaintainable. This is also painful for projects like Apache Bigtop 
where end users have to modify the contents delivered by packages (stuff under 
/usr/lib/oozie) by putting ext module in there or a symlink to where it is, in 
there. This is against best practices as well.

It would be great if oozie respected a variable that contained the location of 
where the ext module is located and used that instead of always assuming it's 
located in a particular location, if so.
