Make physics engines pluggable #961

Open osrf-migration opened 11 years ago

osrf-migration commented 11 years ago

Original report (archived issue) by Steve Peters (Bitbucket: Steven Peters, GitHub: scpeters).

Instead of hard-coding the available physics engines at build time, consider loading them dynamically using a plugin interface. This will enable optional physics engines to be installed as debian packages.

+1. We could make gazebo not to depend unconditionally on the physics engine but provide functionality dynamically.

There's already lots of the work done in PhysicsFactory.
