Hey Geoff, no offense ;) it simply serves no functional purpose. regardless the way we choose for external plugins appear in the UI could you simply remove the plugin and move the informational bits into the extension's info that appears in the About/Extensions panel ?
no rush, just for the next iteration of your extension. if there is none planned, we can as well simply blacklist the menuitem as a workaround. would be missing the extension info though. ..ede On 08.12.2014 01:12, Geoffrey Roy wrote: > Dear Ede and others > > I can easily drop the credits once a new strategy for plugins is agreed. > > Geoff > > On 7/12/2014 21:12, [email protected] wrote: >> now that the possibility is there to move plugins freely within OJ via >> default-plugins.xml i'd like to resuggest: >> >> let's retire the main menu Plugins entry. generally it serves the same >> purpose as the Tools entry, so why not merge it into Tools? >> >> from the coders point we can easily make this backward compatible by changing >> MenuNames.PLUGINS = MenuNames.Tools >> >> if we want specific places for some plugins we can redefine them via xml, >> e.g. >> >> Plugins/JumpChart -> Tools/Statistics/JumpChart >> >> >> comments? ..ede >> >> PS: the FillPattern entry should be deactivated. if Geoff needs credits he >> should modify the info printed in the About/Extensions panel ;) >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server >> from Actuate!
