Introduction

Platform supports the extension of its components through the Plugin concept, which is a JAR library that is added to the module in question and allows it to expand its functionality or customize some point (See guide on how to create plugins).

In release 5.2.0, we have developed a Plugin Manager through which you can upload these libraries from a Control Panel screen and choose the platform module where they apply. In this way, we simplify and centralize the plugin deployment process.

The Plugin Management functionality is only accessible to the ADMINISTRATOR ROLE, and can be accessed from the Manage plugins menu option:

When loading a new Plugin, it will be necessary to restart the module where you want to load it, since hot loading is not supported.

The 'loaded' column will indicate whether the plugin has already been loaded in the module (after restarting).

The X indicates that the plugin has been uploaded but has not yet been loaded into the module, and it needs to be restarted.
