Plugin installation requires all plugins be of type "car", but default ejb
plugin is of type "jar" (and likely similar problems for other app types)

Key: GERONIMO-4323
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4323
Project: Geronimo
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Components: deployment
Affects Versions: 2.2
Reporter: David Jencks
Assignee: David Jencks
Fix For: 2.2
AbstractRepository.copyToRepository bases the decision on whether to unpack or
copy an artifact on the type. Since all it gets is a stream and artifact, I
don't see any obvious ways to change this behavior: to actually detect if
something is a plugin you'd have to look at the content, which isn't available
when the decision is made.
I can see several ways out:
1. make all plugins be of type car
2. make packed plugins work (would require a new classloader and might cause
difficulties with tomcat and openejb integration)
3. copy the file packed, peek inside, and unpack if necessary.
Unless there's strong opposition I'm going to try to implement (1).
