The plugin system should have the following features: > - It is independent of the version control system, file system, operating > system and any other environment tools surrounding OFBiz. Instead, it should > be fully integrated with OFBiz. > - It should unify the way OFBiz is extended, both for official supported > plugins and for third party plugins > - The plugin system takes advantage of the concept of a "component" in OFBiz > and utilize it as the building block for plugins > - The plugin system supports the concepts of "Repository" and "Dependency > Management". If possible, the plugin system will utilize these concepts > directly from Gradle instead of writing them from scratch. > The initial API for the plugin system will be small and expands as needed. > The API should include the following gradle tasks: > - createPlugin: creates a new plugin based on templates and place it in the > plugins directory > - installPlugin: Activate a plugin and run Install. Plugin must exist in > /specialpurpose > - uninstallPlugin: Deactivate a plugin and run its uninstall script > - publishPlugin: publish a plugin to local maven repository > - pullPlugin: download a plugin with its dependencies (plugins) from a > repository and install them -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
