Felix Meschberger commented on FELIX-1043:
------------------------------------------

One approach would be to add a new service property -- felix.webconsole.title 
-- which is used as the title when rendering the plugin.

This property would als be used as a trigger to have a proxy, which renders the 
header and footer (as does the AbstractWebConsolePlugin does) and calls the 
plugin's service() method to render the content.

> Support WebConsole plugins without requiring extending the 
> AbstractWebConsolePlugin

> Currently the web console can be extended by registering a 
> javax.servlet.Servlet service with a special service property naming the 
> label of the plugin. For ease of use (namely reusing the header and footer 
> renderings), plugins must extend the AbstractWebConsolePlugin.
> The drawback of this requirement is, that any plugins require a class from 
> the web console plugin. It would be better to just register a plain servlet 
> which is rendered by the web console with headers and footers on behalf of 
> the plugin.
