Rationale
Module updates and Magnolia updates are currently a little cumbersome; one needs to either rebuild their webapp, and move/copy lots of jar files. Making sure superfluous modules are removed and extra modules re-added can be tedious.
Other webapps have shown it possible since a while to have plugins downloaded from the internet right into the webapp and deployed automatically. In some cases, they don't even require a restart of the application in the application server.
Goals
- ease deployment, maintenance and updates of Magnolia modules
- faster spread of updates
- if modules are easily updated, the core of Magnolia and the bundling don't need to be updated as much, and the modules can really start flying at their own pace.
