Process Plugin Deployment Using Packed Archives of Multiple Jars #323

Open hhund opened 2 years ago

The new process loading mechanism would load zip archives with multiple jar files inside. Before class loading the archive would be unpacked inside a temporary folder. Unpacking of the zip archives should not take long, thus does not need to be permanent.

After implementing this feature, we may want to think about removing the non process plugin extension mechanism from the DSF. If not completely, we could at least remove the folder from our standard deployment guides.

In order to avoid incompatibilities between process plugins, plugins that require additional libraries should supply the necessary dependencies themselves.
