How to develop multiple, independent plugins #9

Closed jbliesener closed 7 years ago

jbliesener commented 7 years ago

Hello,

I'm working on a set of plugins, each independent from the others. One of them is a statistics module that I think is of general interes and I'd like to publish on the Plugins Marketplace. Another one is a layout plugin.

While I can define and compile several plugins in my gephi-plugins folder, I seem to be unable to run Gephi if those plugis are independent from each other. The error message I get is:

Multiple module suites have been found, this is not supported

This was possible in Gephi 0.8.2 with the former Ant build process.

So, here's my question: How can I author several independent plugins (having different licenses) and run them all together in a single Gephi 0.9.1.x instance?

Hi, You should create a separate git branch for each of your plugins.

If you want to test several plugins at the same time before they are published, I think your best option is to run Gephi and manually install the .nbm files that each of your plugin produces when you run mvn install (they will be under target folder of your module).

Thank you, Eduardo. I'll go that way.

Great :) When you want to publish your plugins, remember to create a separate pull-request to master-forge branch for each plugin.
