[wtp-dev] Proposing a solution to cleanup unwanted plugins

[Vijay Bhadriraju <vbhadrir@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Over past couple of weeks we have been
adding new and renaming existing plugins to the wst and jst components
in wtp and moving plugin between wst and jst. We are releasing these changed
plugins leaving the old plugins in there and without any info on what is
the correct plugin to load as there are 2 out there with different names
but same content. One of them is the right one and one of them is the wrong
one. 

To do a cleanup of the wrong ones which
are out there which are basically not needed anymore, I had the following
proposal

1. For the wrong plugin out there we
check it out, delete out all its contents and put in a text file (like
delete.txt or replaced.txt) which says what is the new name of this plugin
and which component/sub project is it moved to or renamed

2. Whoever has the authority to delete
plugins from WTP repo can safely delete this plugin that is empty and has
only one text file in it with the above name.

Any comments and suggestions ? I am
sure this issue might have already striked in someone's mind in wtp.

If this issue has already been discussed
then please send out the results of that discussion.

Thanks, Vijay
