Resources for plugin development for Jopr, RHQ and the JBossAS admin-console

I have been asked a few times in the last weeks about writing plugins for Jopr, RHQ and JBoss ON. People were interested, but still were not completely sure what to do.

So the first thing to know is that a plugin written for Jopr will also run in JBossON2 and (most probably *) in the new admin-console of JBoss AS 5.1

So I've complied a short list of resources to go through for starting development of a plugin

• Whitepaper "How to write a plugin" - don't worry, even if it is named Whitepaper, it has technical content


• Plugin skeleton generator with an example run that explains the various questions. This page also hosts binary versions of the generator that are ready to run.


• Standalone plugin container wrapper, that can help testing the plugin


• Jopr User Documentation


• Jopr Developer Documentation, which has a lot of content from the next item:


• RHQ Documentation


• Jopr podcast


• Plugin community pages

Also Jopr Developers are online on IRC at irc://irc.freenode.net in #jopr

*) You should of course always check it before delivering your plugin, but in most cases it should just work.
