Hello All,

I would like to discuss a new feature that is being worked on for the next 
release of CloudStack. It is the ability to add third party plugins into 
CloudStack while still utilizing the current ui. The procedure in which this 
would occur is as follows:


1.       The developer  will write a plugin that they would like to add into 
CloudStack

2.        Using a predetermined file hierarchy we create, the developer will 
place their plugin within the folder structure and fill out a plugin.js file

3.       The admin will then place this folder into the existing CloudStack 
"plugin"

4.       The admin will then add this new listing onto the plugin.js file that 
lies within that folder

5.       The user then just has to refresh the browser and the plugin will be 
available to use.

We will be toying with the idea of adding a plugin button to the navigation so 
that the user can see what plugins have been installed and click on them to 
access them.

Please see the link below for more information.
