Hi,
Let SkyPrint be in the Plus then. However, then Core will still remain without
printing capabilities which I think it would deserve.
But there is already the "Save view as.." option in Core. If I think my own
printing needs I need very often not only the map on a paper but also title,
legend in a good place and fixed, selectable scale. Having these features
brings the core printer pretty close to Cadplan printer plugin so perhaps OJ
Core will live without printing options.
For me title and legend and more frequently needed options than layered PDF
which is the biggest gig in Skyprint. Perhaps it could be possible to add
layering into Cadplan printer which also seems to be able to write PDF files
with iText.
I have a small wish for the SkyPrint plugin: it could have a dropdown menu for
selecting the most common paper sizes for PDF dimensions.

ok, that's 1MB extra.. that smells like PLUS to me then.

i'd suggest
File->Print->Printer (Cadplan)
Printer (SkyPrint)
as to differentiate the two. trying to describe the difference would be to
difficult in a short menu item's text.
this can easily be done with the new install mechanism. default-plugins.xml can
override the install setting of any extension. the string would go into OJ
language files then.

for PLUS this is handled easily. everything in trunk/lib/plus/ is simply copied
into lib/ext/ during the PLUS release build. so, after Jukka or others
"approved" the extension you might simply
- add documentation to etc/readme.txt (section Licensing/PLUS), read other
entries there to get an idea of the needed information
- commit the needed jar to lib/plus/ & it will be included in the next PLUS
build
as you volunteered (kind of) now for the extension's maintenance ;) please also
generate a proper extension release for sf.net<http://sf.net> files, instead of
only a jar.
that would be a zip file, containing
ReadMe.txt - with chapters
Installation - which file to copy where
Licenses - name, files, component
lib files - needed support jars, extension jar
license files (txt,pdf...) for the components above, download them from the net
and upload it for users wanting to use the extension with a barebone CORE OJ
only.
regards.. ede
