Re: [XML11-devel] Plugin Development

Sascha,

I also see the problem with multiple plugin folders. My thought was having=
 XML11's plugin folder seperate from the plugin's directory structure. Thi=
s means that an additional step is required to make plugins available to X=
ML11 (which is basically copying them from the plugin's jar folder to XML1=
1's plugin folder). This can be automated using the plugin's ant script. T=
he only open question is about naming/placing the folders - only one (plug=
in development folder or XML11's plugin folder) can be named plugin.
