Hi all,

I have some code in a plugin's init.rb that used
Rails.plugins[:plugin_name].code_paths
+= ... I spent a bit of time hacking engines to get it working, then I read
Sven's helpful message at
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/135196#602078(essentially "Contrary to
Rails
1.2.x the init.rb file is now evalutated inside of the Plugin object." and
just use code_paths += ...)

Btw, I had to use self.code_paths +=, not code_paths by itself.  Is that
expected?

Yes definitely a message on how to migrate from 1.2.x to 2.x engines.  The
rake tast is probably not necessary imo, we are used to reading the messages
and making appropriate changes.

Anyways I thought I would include my changes in case someone finds them
useful.  Definitely changing Rails.plugins[:plugin_name] to self is the
better way.  But maybe someone will need to use this way for some reason.
