I'm having problems getting plugins working. I was able to use it

Q: If it was working before, what have you done to make it stop
working?
A: I started making modifications to the ODT plugin's stylesheets.
While testing I noticed it wasn't working. After searching the
archives, I decided to try checking out a fresh copy from svn.
Unfortunately (after changing $FORREST_HOME to point to the fresh
svn checkout) I receive the same error.
The plugin is not defined in any of plugins descriptor file because
it have never been deployed in the forrest site.
Correct evaluation (i.e. not in the whiteboard plugin descriptor
file), wrong reason.
Right,
All plugins should appear in the descriptor file. These entries must
be added manually at this time There is an issue to generate them from
the plugin build information, I've done about 50% of the work towards
this, but not found the time for the other 50% yet.
Maybe I can help on this, it's
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-532 but I cannot see your svn
submissions...
[I've set the reply-to field to the dev list - this has moved on now]
Sorry, must have forgot to but the issue number in the commits.
From memory all I have done is make the necessary information available
in the build.xml and added some hooks to the plugin deployment code.
What needs to be done now is (off the top of my head):
- XSL to create a plugins descriptor from the build.xml information
- add a sitemap match to create a plugin descriptor
- change sitemap match for plugins.xml files in core to aggregate each
descriptor in to the complete descriptor file
Why not just add it to the whiteboard descriptor file?
Of course, but a commiter must do this.
Or a user supplies a patch.
BTW, we still miss several plugins declaration like
org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.php and org.apache.forrest.themes.core.
Do I add them ?
I see no reason for keeping any plugins out. If you do add them then you
should deploy the descriptor (I think it is "ant deploy-descriptor", but
may be wrong).
