[Engine-devel] oVirt UI Plugins: some more ideas

[Vojtech Szocs]

Hi guys,

as a follow-up to an excellent discussion with Michal, here are some ideas that could prove useful when implementing robust UI plugin infrastructure. (Please let me know what you think.)

1. Implement WebAdmin dialog that lists active plugins, with the ability to turn them on/off (during WebAdmin runtime).
2. Implement WebAdmin 'plugin-safe' mode, which disables all plugins during WebAdmin startup (could be controlled via HTTP parameter)
3. Introduce WebAdmin plugin API compliance version, so that plugins can be made against specific version of WebAdmin

Cheers,
Vojtech
