Should we really be deleting the warning about this?

I think so, or at least we need to change it  may be something like :
"Until issue <a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-388";>FOR-388</a> is fixed to enable the use of plugins in-place, any change to sources needs to restart forrest"

OK, I'm doing that now, with a minor modification of adding the local-deploy option.

Should the issue really be closed? (see [1])

No, we should reopen it. I didn't understand the "in place" ;-) . I believed it was "instead of" the remote version...

That makes sense. I've reopened the issue but moved its fixed version to 0.9. Your work on this is worthy of the 0.8 release. I've also clarified what is meant by "in place".

I'm not sure we want to encourage users working in this way. We want them to enhance Forrest code and provide patches. This comment encourages them to fork the code doesn't it?

You are right, Maybe (please correct my bad english...) :

I'll make the edits you suggest with some minor mods (not for bad English though ;-)

Thanks,
