Sebastian Nagel created NUTCH-2895:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Allow to add plugin dependency jars by wildcard
Key: NUTCH-2895
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-2895
Project: Nutch
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: plugin, runtime
Affects Versions: 1.18
Reporter: Sebastian Nagel
Fix For: 1.19
The plugin descriptors (plugin.xml) require to list all dependent jar files one
by one as "library". This makes upgrading plugins which include a longer list
of dependencies (parse-tika, any23, protocol-okhttp, Selenium-based protocols)
a non-trivial task. Maybe we could add a "wildcard" rule that allows to add all
(remaining) jars in the plugin folder to the classpath.
Sure this would make the Nutch plugin system differ from the [original Eclipse
plugin
architecture|http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Plug-in-architecture/plugin_architecture.html].
When looking into recent Eclipse plugins: dependencies are in the lib/ folder
and listed in the file "MANIFEST.MF".
