Gil Portenseigne commented on OFBIZ-7972:
-----------------------------------------

Hi Taher, great job so far,
I did easily managed to create my own plugin, publish it to my local repos, uninstall it and pull it from my local repo.

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 !

> 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
