[xwiki-devs] applications & plugins

I am just full of feedback today. Is there a reason that an application (which would of course go in a xar) is created so far away from the plugin it's interdependent with? i.e. the Application Manager is one application that consists of both XWiki documents in a xar file and an Xwiki plugin. Having one half in plugins, and the other half in applications doesn't make a lot of sense-- they're one thing. The same goes with some of the other plugins, actually.. Some might have macros associated with them, and maybe they want those macros to be in the DB. A few of the plugins get around this by creating the documents they need programatically (as I suggested with the PluginGuide), but it seems like there has to be a better way of managing "plugins with an application face" then having them in separate trees. Then again, maybe I'm nuts. :-P -- 'Waste of a good apple' -Samwise Gamgee
