Hi, Do we actually still use xwiki-platform-application-manager? I mean, besides xwiki-platform-wiki-manager where it is used quite heavily (and a bit in xwiki-platform-workspace because of the dependency on xwiki-platform-wiki-manager), I know of no other place where it is being used.
On the UI side, some of the features are now replaced by newer modules: - Automatic translation registration, a feature of the application manager, is now replaced by the new localization module. - Listing and managing applications is now replaced by the EM and maybe the applications panel Additionally, the API side uses the deprecated plugin technology. My impression was that we were going to retire this module at some point, so I`m not sure if adding stuff to it is a good idea. WDYT?
