Thomas Nadeau updated ARIA-118:
-------------------------------
Sprint: Sprint 6 (was: Sprint 8)
> plugin.yaml importing
> ---------------------
>
> Key: ARIA-118
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIA-118
> Project: AriaTosca
> Issue Type: Story
> Reporter: Ran Ziv
> Assignee: D Jayachandran
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: plugins, wishlist
>
> Using a plugin currently requires a user first installs the plugin (using
> PluginManager), then import the relevant plugin.yaml file in the service
> template file. The import will currently likely point to a URL, or be a path
> relative to the service-template yaml file.
> Some ideas for improvement and easing the import;
> - If a plugin contained its plugin.yaml as part of its wagon archive, then
> once installed, users could import the yaml file more easily using a notation
> such as {{plugins/openstack.yaml}} (or perhaps {{openstack.yaml}}, having the
> import mechanism iterate over plugins looking for this resource file or so)
> - The import mechanism could look for imports in the resource-storage as
> well - There could be a directory on the resource-storage designated for
> storing global yaml files for import, thereby simplifying reuse of yaml
> imports across service-templates.
> - Perhaps ARIA should also support importing yaml files by using paths
> relative to the service-template's package root (as opposed to only looking
> for paths relative to the current yaml file)? Note that this could lead to
> ambiguities in some cases.
> Note that the last two don't necessarily have to do with plugins directly,
> but it's more likely to be relevant for plugins as they're used across
> service-templates more often.
