[kepler-users] Plugin for 2.0

[David Welker]

You do not necessarily have to refactor your code itself. You may only  
need to organize the code into a module (which is a folder that has  
specified directories for src, lib, resources, etc) that is referenced  
along with *kepler-2.0 in a new suite.

The details of how to make a module are in the build instructions:

https://kepler-project.org/developers/teams/build/documentation/build-system-instructions

Overall, this task should be fairly straightforward.

It is possible that your code itself will need to be refactored itself  
to work with 2.0. It is impossible to tell. It entirely depends on  
whether any of the APIs that your plugin uses have changed. Therefore,  
there are no general instructions we could provide. It is possible  
that no code refactoring will be necessary.

You could seperate the task of making a module with the task of making  
that module compatible with 2.0. First, simple include your module in  
a suite that references *kepler-1.0. After you get that working, you  
know that you have structured your module correctly. You can then  
change *kepler-1.0 to *kepler-2.0 to see whether or not any code  
refactoring is necessary. Breaking this up into two stages like this  
may not really be necessary however, as making your plugin into a  
module should be fairly straightforward. It is up to you whether you  
want to break the task into two stages or just do it all at once.

Hope that helps!
