Description

This is a very advanced and complex task, but it is attainable.

Need to learn iPojo first:

• http://felix.apache.org/documentation/subprojects/apache-felix-ipojo.html

The main thing is this should not break any existing functionality, but simple enhance the managers, to allow them to dynamically add jar files on the fly.

Maybe to start with you just attach plugin jar files to a page, which would activate them. You could limit that page to "Admin" users only. Deleting the attached plugin would invalidate it.
