Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-5103:
-----------------------------------
bq. If someone wants to offer a plugin with dependency jars , please make a jar
with all the dependencies included.
Well that is for us to dictate, isn't it? Who says the plugin format must
conform to the JAR specs? Is it technically problematic to add all classes from
multiple JARs from within a ZIP to a classloader? If yes, the user-facing
plugin format could still be a zip with multiple jars in a lib folder, and our
plugin installer code handles merging all jars together into one jar
{{plugin-xyz-merged.jar}} which is the one being registered with the
classloader?

> I think for 5.0, we should make it easier to add plugins by defining a plugin
> package, ala a Hadoop Job jar, which is a self--contained archive of a plugin
> that can be easily installed (even from the UI!) and configured
> programmatically.
