Analysis

Overview

Create a module that aids in finding application resources. These resources could be application graphics, book templates, etc.

Every plugin has a dist directory. Thus this module should look in the plugin's JAR's dist directory and if not found, then in the application resources directory.

Task requirements

• Create a module to help plugins find their own and application resources
• The module should be able to find resources in a plugin's dist JAR file, as well as the application directory
• Define where application resources will be stored
• Provide an API for finding a list of book templates, and then returning one of those templates
• Provide sample code and documentation for this module

Task result

The result of this task is code

Implementation idea

Try to keep this as simple and straight forward as possible. Look into how we're identifying resources and note that in the code, because that is how we should look up resources, likely by resource URI. local.book-templates.sophie2.org for example.

Related

This task is related to the plugin and platform structure, although I am unsure of exactly which tasks.

How to demo

Show the code and explain where resources are found and how to use the module.

Testing

Comments

open resources for reading/writing get a list of book templates find resources for the application login files

related to plugin and platform structure some resources should be shared between plugins every plugin has a distrib directory

should work without having everything assembled, or assembled
