[forge-dev] Who wants to merge the Seam3 Forge Plugins into a Single Project/Repository?

[Paul Bakker]

I think I've got a very simple solution for this working, have a look at
this branch: https://github.com/paulbakker/core/commits/plugin-repo
It's a new plugin, I added it to the core for now, and believe it belongs
there. The plugin does nothing else than parse a remote xml file. The xml
file looks as follows:

<plugin>
<name>Arquillian</name>
<url>git://github.com/forge/plugin-arquillian.git</url>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<name>OSGI</name>
<url>git://github.com/forge/plugin-osgi.git</url>
</plugin>

It will than prompt the user: Which plugin do you want to install:
  1 - [OSGI]
  2 - [Arquillian]
  3 - [Seam Persistence]

After the user chooses a plugin it will install the plugin by executing
"forge git-plugin [url]"

If we add this to the core and keep the xml external a user is always able
to install known plugins easily. New plugnis can be added to the xml file
without rebuilding the source.

If we go forward with this idea we can also add things like automatic
updates for example.

Thoughs?
