#504 TODO: OJ2.x

[ede]

this is not actually a bug ticket, but a notepad for backward compatible breaking things to do in OJ2.x

(DONE) FeatureInstaller, privatize Constructor, replace new FeatureInstaller() with FeatureInstaller.getInstance() projectwide
(future ticket added) make the toolbar part of default-plugins.xml, to easily add/remove/reorder it's components

(DONE) rework I18N, see extra ticket https://sourceforge.net/p/jump-pilot/bugs/501/

Hi Ede,
OJ can inizialize a plugin via default-plugins.xml. Do you recommend to use it?

sure. at least for CORE plugins that is. it saves adding addMainMenuPlugin() and friends to the initialize() method and makes clear that default-plugins.xml is authorative, meaning it can even completely disable a plugin installation.

not saying to change our old plugins, but use it when adding new ones, as you are doing already!

for Extensions it makes no sense, as they exist outside of CORE, so we may add a override there (eg. i did it for the Printing plugins) but they must install fine without as well, as CORE not necessarily knows about every plugin out there.
