The pushPlugin is packaging into POM, publishing and uploading. So although the words are more familiar I fear people might misinterpret it and think if they call downloadPlugin then it would just download it when it is a very complex operation. This is why I suggest to keep them as pull and push but provide a good explanation in the description, because you'll know that a pull is not just a download so you'll be careful. > Create a (PoC) plugin system for OFBiz based on Gradle > -- > > Key: OFBIZ-7972 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-7972 > Project: OFBiz > Issue Type: Improvement >Affects Versions: Upcoming Branch >Reporter: Taher Alkhateeb >Assignee: Taher Alkhateeb >Priority: Minor > Labels: plugin, proof-of-concept, system > Attachments: OFBIZ-7972.patch, OFBIZ-7972.patch, OFBIZ-7972.patch > > > This JIRA houses the attempt to create a plugin system for OFBiz based on > gradle.

In my current design I made OFBiz plugins themselves versioned using [Semantic Versioning 2.0.0|http://semver.org/] and you can have a very complex dependency tree with versions without a problem and it will all be resolved automatically. This is just good old maven combined with the power of Gradle that makes this whole system seamless. OFBiz itself, however, is not versioned, so I do not have at the moment a solution to say that this plugin only works with OFBiz 16 and that plugin works with 15 and so on. The reasons for this problem: - There is no file in OFBiz that tells us what is the current version of OFBiz - Using subversion to keep track of versions in my opinion is a bad idea because it makes the solution brittle and dependent on tools instead of being part of the OFBiz solution. If we switch the version control system in the future then our solution breaks down. - What about trunk? It's hard to make plugins dependent on trunk because trunk is this constantly changing thing. So, I have no clear solution in my mind at the moment, but I am sharing my ideas to brainstorm together > Create a (PoC) plugin system for OFBiz based on Gradle > -- > > Key: OFBIZ-7972 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-7972 > Project: OFBiz > Issue Type: Improvement >Affects Versions: Upcoming Branch >Reporter: Taher Alkhateeb >Assignee: Taher Alkhateeb >Priority: Minor > Labels: plugin, proof-of-concept, system > Attachments: OFBIZ-7972.patch > > > This JIRA houses the attempt to create a plugin system for OFBiz based on > gradle.

I have tested all described steps and everything worked very well. Great documentation apart from the quirks already mentioned. I would also be in favor of a removePlugin task that does uninstall and delete. I'd suggest to rename the existing removePlugin to deactivatePlugin, this would better describe what the task really does. One idea comes to mind: is it planned to have some version checking mechanism? If I want to pull/install a remote plugin it would be nice if the installer would check if the plugin is compatible with the base system. I will play with the plugin system in the next days and report any findings or ideas.

[jira] [Commented] (OFBIZ-7972) Create a (PoC) plugin system for OFBiz based on Gradle

Maybe we should call it deletePlugin because there is a function in the script called removePlugin that removes it from component-load.xml. I also discovered a few more typos in README.md so I'll fix those in addition to the copy-paste one you caught. I'll patch again soon. There is a lot more to discuss but I'll wait for you to explore some more.

The README is pretty clear (only copy/paste issue line 496). I feel that a removePlugin that will be a shortcut to uninstallPlugin + rm -Rf speciapurpose/myPluginId, could be good. But while writing it, i'm not sure about me yet... Food for thought :) These for basic test feedback, I continue my tests ! > Create a (PoC) plugin system for OFBiz based on Gradle > -- > > Key: OFBIZ-7972 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-7972 > Project: OFBiz > Issue Type: Improvement >Affects Versions: Upcoming Branch >Reporter: Taher Alkhateeb >Assignee: Taher Alkhateeb > Labels: plugin, proof-of-concept, system > Attachments: OFBIZ-7972.patch > > > This JIRA houses the attempt to create a plugin system for OFBiz based on > gradle.
