How to add some Plugins to my own portal based on mavenized Entando

Adding a Plugin which doesn't depend on other Plugins

Use case

Adding entando-plugin-jpsurvey, previously known as jpsurvey

1. Stop your servlet container of choice (Tomcat, JBoss, Jetty, ...)
2. Add entando-plugin-jpsurvey as a maven dependency
   • groupId : org.entando.entando.plugins
   • artifactId : entando-plugin-jpsurvey
   • type : war
   • Just like this:

<!--
     The Plugin, with all its files and 
     entando-plugin-jpsurvey.jar in WEB-INF/lib
-->
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.entando.entando.plugins</groupId>
	<artifactId>entando-plugin-jpsurvey</artifactId>
	<version>${entando.version}</version>
	<type>war</type>
</dependency>

Done. You can:

• ant WAR-build to get the war
• or Run As --> Run on Server if you use Eclipse Indigo
• or mvn jetty:run if you prefer Jetty

The Plugin will be there.

Adding a Plugin which depends on other Plugins

Use case

Adding entando-plugin-jpaddressbook, previously known as jpaddressbook

Same as above, and the dependencies will be resolved and installed automatically.

Easy and FTW!
