Load Plugin resources from classpath
------------------------------------
Key: JSPWIKI-628
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-628
Project: JSPWiki
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.8.3
Reporter: Jürgen Weber
Some plugins require the browser to load files. E.g. the FreeMindPlugin needs
the browser to load the applet's classes, or another plugin might need some
flash code.
Currently the solution is to attach these files to a page which has the sole
purpose of having the attachment. This is kind of awkward.
JSPWiki should have a mechanism (in JSPFilter?) which would load the file from
the classpath. So for FreeMind the FreeMindPlugin.jar would additionally
contain freemindbrowser.jar. The plugin would generate some markup that would
make the Filter recognize that the parameter is to be loaded from classpath,
e.g. <wiki:IncludeResource freemindbrowser.jar>
I guess this could be done with a PageFilter, too, but the idea is to make
installing plugins easier and having to add a filters.xml would be
counterproductive, so the mechanism should go into core.
