Administering plugins

Creating a plugin
- You can create a plugin as part of a maven build by using the car-maven-plugin.
- You can create a plugin "virtually" by installing a deployed application from a running Geronimo server acting as a plugin repository.
- You can create a plugin by using the Geronimo administration console to create or edit the plugin metadata.
...
Here's an example of a car-maven-plugin configuration using maven dependencies and configuring most of the additional information possible:
...
...
As you use maven to build plugins, a geronimo-plugins.xml plugin catalog is automatically maintained in your local maven repository. You can force this to be rebuilt by running the following command:
...
...
This might be necessary if you prune your maven repository and remove plugins listed in the catalog.
...
- If the server is running, stop the server.
- Copy the new jar into the appropriate directory in your geronimo server's repository. For instance:
Code Block mkdir -p repository/org/foo/myjar/1.1/ cp ~/newFooJar/myjar-1.1.jar repository/org/foo/myjar/1.1/ Alternatively, you can use the Services->Repository portlet on the administration console to add artifacts to the server's repository.
Finally, after the new jar is installed in the server's repository, add a line to var/config/artifact_aliases.properties (or the equivalent file, if the server is using a non-standard alias file) to configure the server to substitute the version for any old version dependency . For instance, to replace myjar-1.0.jar with myjar-1.1.jar, add the following line:
...
...
With this configuration, the server will substitute myjar-1.1.jar for any myjar-1.0.jar dependency.
...
If the jar is installed as part of a plugin installation, you can include configuration upgrade information in the geronimo-plugin.xml. During plugin installation, the upgraded jar will be automatically installed. This is the easiest way to specify in the car-maven-config configuration in the pom.xml, prior to building the plugin.
