FOR-388 <http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-388>,

That is about using plugins in place. From what I have seen in the commits you have polished my work on enabling them to be deployed if available locally, but they still need to be deployed don't they?
Actually not. They need to be described in a descriptor file, but may not have remote URL. For instance, I am using the php plugin in the Whiteboard which has not been released, and I have a descriptor file of my own to describe it. And it works like a charm. My local plugin is updated when needed from my sources.

Shall I close the FOR-388 or do you think it is not enough ?

FOR-343 <http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-343>...


This one is about automatically upgrading a plugin if no version number is supplied. So, if this is to be closed then every time I run Forrest I should get the very latest of all required plugins that do not carry a version number. From what I have seen, this does not happen. It still does what it used to do, if the not present then it installs it, if it is present it uses the one available. Did I miss something?

I am not sure of this, I think that the first time you run forrest, it gets the plungin.zip and unpack it and keep the zip file.
Then the plugin.zip is updated in the vault,
If you re-run forrest, it will get the new (get "knows" that the file is newer by comparing with the kept previous version) and unpack-it. So what have you seen when you say it doesn't happen ? How did you make the test ?

This sounds fine. I never thought of keeping the zip and comparing dates. I just assumed that it would reinstall everytime just to ensure that it had the latest.

Your solution is much neater and more efficient. Of course, it is also too clever for me to realise the excellent work you have done.
May I close the FOR-343 or is there something missing ?

Salutations,
Cyriaque,

Thanks a million.
You're welcome (if you're not joking, because I don't think it was too clever for you...)
