The naming convention for the plugins is fine, but I think it would be nice if users are able to declare required plugins using simpler names like "pdf", "text", "docbook" and so on.

We can figure out what simple names exactly to use later. I just wanted to see what people feel about this? It should be trivial to implement (though I have _no_ clue how! :-D), and I think it'll make config much less intimidating (even I get scared typing org.apache.forrest.input.viewHelper.xhtml.ls)

Yup, I have to say I agree. It is also a pain when going to the plugin dir in linux to manually install the plugin because I like to use tab to finish out long filenames but I pretty much have to type the whole thing in since they all start with the same long name before getting to the actual useful part of the name.

How do you avoid name conflicts given that Forrest does not have a monopoly on plugin publication?

That is what if I call a plugin foo and Joe calls his plugin foo and then Forrest creates one called foo?
