--------------------------------------

             Summary: Addons should have a storage area
                 Key: FORGE-1644
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1644
             Project: Forge
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Furnace (Container)
    Affects Versions: 2.1.1.Final
            Reporter: George Gastaldi
             Fix For: 2.x Future


If would be nice if each addon had a storage area (not temporary) to store files relevant to the addon execution. This area could live under {{FORGE_HOME/store/addon_name}}. 

Here is an example code on how to access it: 
{code}
@Inject Addon addon;

File storageArea = addon.getStorageDirectory();
{code}

Examples: 

- The current config.xml file could be in the storage directory of the configuration addon
- The shell specific files (export, alias, history) could be in the storage directory of the shell addon
