Integrate all maintained plugins into JabRef #152
Comments
Hi there Does this also affect jabref-ooplugin? I still use this regularly, and hope that it can continue to be supported. Cheers |
The OO plugin is still supported as it is integrated into JabRef directly. No need to worry. :) |
I just found this plugin: https://github.com/kwwette/pdftasks which seems quite useful as far as I can tell. It is rather recently updated and relies on the file-field rather than the pdf-field. Should we ask the author if he could integrate it? |
Oh, now I saw kwwette/pdftasks#1 ... Still, the impression is that this plugin makes things a bit more intuitive compared to running a cleanup. Also, this could be used as a starting point to extract additional information from PDFs etc. |
I'm new to JabRef, and a bit confused about how things are going in this transition phase (as it appears to be). I'm using JabRef 3.2, but wanting/needing to use some custom export filters. These exist as "plugins":
These are available from the old resources page. Is there a way to make use of these old plugins in 3.2? (+ Apologies if this is the wrong place for this: I got here via a link in the mailing list.) |
@koppor Could you update the checkbox, as the list of plugins is listed in the FAQ (http://www.jabref.org/faq/)? |
I marked the ADS fetcher plugins as done since we now have search by query and search by id as fetcher, which was exactly the purpose of these ADS plugins. |
Also marked the Inspire plugin as integrated, since we apparently have a fetcher for it: https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/blob/816d30c947db941d0c77f045c6288c01374c26b9/src/main/java/net/sf/jabref/gui/importer/fetcher/INSPIREFetcher.java |
Since plugin support is now gone for three years and we have got no user inquires asking us to include the remaining plugins, I'll close this issue now. Pullrequests that include some of the functionality of the old plugins are of course still more than welcome. |
The plugin system of JabRef used the Java Plug-in Framework, which is not state of the art anymore. The modern way is to use Jigsaw. However, offering a plugin interface requires the interfaces to be stable. This cannot be guaranteed. Issues such as korv/Jabref-plugins#13 or lehner/LocalCopy#6 will arise. We assume that plugin functionality directly integrated in the JabRef code will ensure that it will be maintained, we removed the plugin functionality.
We ask all plugin developers to fork JabRef, integrate the plugin functionality and create a pull request. Our CONTRIBUTING.md file provides details.
In the long run, all available plugins should be integrated in JabRef.
