Since OmegaT 5.3.0 it support plugin metadata that is in jar manifest.
It is nice if OmegaT recognize plugins project URL using Plugin-Link metadata.
FRE#1434 is the ticket to introduce metadata as follows
| Data | OmegaT | Manifest | Bundle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Plugin-Name | Implementation-Title | Bundle-Name |
| Version | Plugin-Version | Implementation-Version | Bundle-Version |
| Author | Plugin-Author | Implementation-Vendor | Build-By |
| Description | Plugin-Description | n/a | n/a |
I'd like to propose an addition of data.
| Data | OmegaT | Manifest | Bundle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Plugin-Name | Implementation-Title | Bundle-Name |
| Version | Plugin-Version | Implementation-Version | Bundle-Version |
| Author | Plugin-Author | Implementation-Vendor | Build-By |
| Description | Plugin-Description | n/a | n/a |
| Website | Plugin-Link | n/a | n/a |
It is also nice that a table on Properties->Plugins would have a hyperlink to specified project website.
User can easily check an update of plugins and see plugin manuals using this link.
