Janne Jalkanen updated JSPWIKI-425:
-----------------------------------

    Fix Version/s:     (was: 3.0)
                   3.1

Good idea but too big to fit in 3.0 scope.  Put it in 3.1.

>  Auto-update (Ecplise-like) mechanism for JSPWiki plugins.

> Provide a means to enable a running JSPWiki installation to periodically 
> update its installed plugins.
> The following properties illustrate the idea.
> jspwiki.plugins.autoupdate.svn-url = xxx:xxx
> jspwiki.plugins.autoupdate.period = never | hourly | daily | weekly
> jspwiki.plugins.autoupdate.versioning = none | X.X.any | X.any.any  | 
> any.any.any
> jspwiki.plugins.autoupdate.doc-source = none |  from-plugin-help | 
> from-svn-url
> jspwiki.plugins.autoupdate.doc-target = none | %p | %p Help   (where %p is 
> the Plugin classname) 
> Mandatory plugin behaviors:
> 1) follow a Major.Minor.Patch version numbering scheme (via annotations or 
> simply an interface or abstract method on WikiPlugin)
> 2) invoke with param=help return plugin help as wikitext , or maintain a 
> standard named file in svn.
> Item 1 allows a versioning update policy to be followed consistently.
> Item 2 allows generation of a docs/help/usage page for the installed plugin 
> version.
> Of course the attributes in jspwiki_module.xml (which  become annotations in 
> 3.0) should be respected (specifically min and max jspwiki version that the 
> plugin needs).  *Possibly* this could be extended to autoinstall dependencies.
> What I *really* want is a more OSGi like bundle scheme, but that may be 
> overkill for plugins (as well as perhaps being more complex that is really 
> warranted at this time).
