Moving discussion from Jira ticket to dev list as suggested by Hugo. Request from Kawai-san: > There is no place to put plugin jar files for cloudstack agent program now, while management server program has default @PLUGINJAVADIR@ where plugin classes will be loaded into server at startup. > We will need to load a class, for example when we try to use a custom "libvirt.vif.driver" which can be configured at agent.properties.
Suggestion by Marcus: > I'd actually defer to the guys who have been working on the packaging. It seems like it would be distribution specific, and handled by the startup scripts. > The obvious solution to me would be to create a directory, say /usr/share/cloudstack-agent/plugins, and append that to the classpath in the init scripts so that the agent can see the plugins copied there. > Maybe go a step further and make a symlink /etc/cloudstack/agent/plugins; easier for admins to find. Noa, Hugo and I are happy with that solution, but if anyone has any thoughts, please let us know. Thanks, Dave.
