[tigerstripe-dev] Exposing PluginManager and supporting classes?
|
Hey
Eric,
I am looking at
dynamically changing the versions of enable plugins for a project via Maven/ANT.
It would be helpful to be able to determine all of the installed plugins for
this task. I noticed that I can get this information from the PluginManager.java
class, but the class is in an internal pkg. Could we expose these classes (or a
subset?)? Is there a query method already exposed that I am missing, by
chance?
What I am thinking
here is say version 1.4 of plugin x is enabled via Tigerstripe.xml. 1.4 is
not installed in the new eclipse/ts workbench environment because the user would
like to use 1.5 (setting this value in the pom.xml file). Maven would
retrieve and install 1.5. I would then need to enable 1.5 for the
project.
If I can determine
that 1.5 is installed, I can then disable 1.4 and enable 1.5 for the project and
the build can proceed. If it is not installed, I can throw an error and the
build will fail. This would help in moving all build settings to the
Maven/ANT builds instead of manually having to update Tigerstripe.xml for each
change.
Thanks,
Jim
