It seems that plugins that need to add panels or js/css support files end up 
creating a space with pages to store these elements.  This in turn seems like 
it would lead to a plethora of spaces for which end users don't really have 
much use.

 

Ideally it would be nice to just have all these files in the jar file and have 
them invisibly be part of xwiki without needing to import an xar and create a 
new space.  The advantage of this is you have a nice single package for 
updating and installation.   This is typical of a confluence plugin.

 

Are there any plans to allow for 'plugin spaces' that might be 'hidden' or 
possibly have content provided more easily from a jar?

 

On a separate but related note, how do people deal today with revision control 
when there are wiki pages needed as part of a plugin?  Do you keep exporting 
the plugin space and checking in xar files?  I'm currently keeping page content 
separately as conventional files and pasting them into the wiki for testing.

 

I guess I'm not reporting anything is broke here but seems like some rough 
edges I'd like to smooth out.
