Jacopo Cappellato commented on OFBIZ-7972:
------------------------------------------
It looks a great start to me.
One minor question: are both entries required?
{code}
+ junitReport 'org.apache.ant:ant-junit:1.9.7'
+ junitReport 'org.apache.ant:ant-junit4:1.9.7'
{code}
I have voted for this ticket and I would be in favor of committing it into
trunk, maybe mentioning (at the beginning of the README file) that is
experimental.
> Create a (PoC) plugin system for OFBiz based on Gradle

> This JIRA houses the attempt to create a plugin system for OFBiz based on
> gradle. The plugin system should have the following features:
> - It is independent of the version control system, file system, operating
> system and any other environment tools surrounding OFBiz. Instead, it should
> be fully integrated with OFBiz.
> - It should unify the way OFBiz is extended, both for official supported
> plugins and for third party plugins
> - The plugin system takes advantage of the concept of a "component" in OFBiz
> and utilize it as the building block for plugins
> - The plugin system supports the concepts of "Repository" and "Dependency
> Management". If possible, the plugin system will utilize these concepts
> directly from Gradle instead of writing them from scratch.
> The initial API for the plugin system will be small and expands as needed.
> The API should include the following gradle tasks:
> - createPlugin: creates a new plugin based on templates and place it in the
> plugins directory
> - installPlugin: Activate a plugin and run Install. Plugin must exist in
> /specialpurpose
> - uninstallPlugin: Deactivate a plugin and run its uninstall script
> - publishPlugin: publish a plugin to local maven repository
> - pullPlugin: download a plugin with its dependencies (plugins) from a
> repository and install them
