The plugin manager

I am starting to make things work in the plugins manager of XPontus XML Editor.

The plugins metadata have the following attributes for now:
  • author
  • contributors
  • date
  • version
  • homepage
  • license
  • description, etc.
This will allow full text search of the plugins using Apache Lucene.

When a plugin is added, the plugin is extracted in the XPontus plugins directory. The plugin descriptor is later indexed in a thread.

Here is a screenshot of the plugins manager.
