Noble Paul commented on SOLR-5103:
----------------------------------
bq.Well that is for us to dictate, isn't it? Who says the plugin format must
conform to the JAR specs?
It's OK for the plugin format not conform to jar specs. The payload could be a
zip file with multiple jars. But, is it a big deal to merge multiple jars. It
solves a problem of name collisions. What if the same FQN of a class is found
in two jars , which one to load?
bq. and our plugin installer code handles merging all jars together into one
jar plugin-xyz-merged.jar
Please don't . The plugin installer should do as little magic as possible.

> 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.
