Hi,
Let SkyPrint be in the Plus then. However, then Core will still
remain without printing capabilities which I think it would deserve.
But there is already the "Save view as.." option in Core. If I think
my own printing needs I need very often not only the map on a paper
but also title, legend in a good place and fixed, selectable scale.
Having these features brings the core printer pretty close to Cadplan
printer plugin so perhaps OJ Core will live without printing options.
For me title and legend and more frequently needed options than
layered PDF which is the biggest gig in Skyprint. Perhaps it could
be possible to add layering into Cadplan printer which also seems to
be able to write PDF files with iText.
I have a small wish for the SkyPrint plugin: it could have a dropdown
menu for selecting the most common paper sizes for PDF dimensions.

ok, that's 1MB extra.. that smells like PLUS to me then.

i'd suggest
File->Print->Printer (Cadplan)
Printer (SkyPrint)
as to differentiate the two. trying to describe the difference would
be to difficult in a short menu item's text.
this can easily be done with the new install mechanism.
default-plugins.xml can override the install setting of any
extension. the string would go into OJ language files then.

for PLUS this is handled easily. everything in trunk/lib/plus/ is
simply copied into lib/ext/ during the PLUS release build. so, after
Jukka or others "approved" the extension you might simply
- add documentation to etc/readme.txt (section Licensing/PLUS), read
other entries there to get an idea of the needed information
- commit the needed jar to lib/plus/ & it will be included in the
next PLUS build
as you volunteered (kind of) now for the extension's maintenance ;)
please also generate a proper extension release for sf.net
<http://sf.net> files, instead of only a jar.
that would be a zip file, containing
ReadMe.txt - with chapters
Installation - which file to copy where
Licenses - name, files, component
lib files - needed support jars, extension jar
license files (txt,pdf...) for the components above, download them
from the net
and upload it for users wanting to use the extension with a barebone
CORE OJ only.
