Description
Currently, this list is more or less hardcoded into Essentials. When Hippo publishes an updated list of components, the list that a developer sees in Essentials must be updated the next time he opens the "Add components" tab - so without rebuilding the app!
It must be possible to update the list without involvement from infra.
Demo can be as simple as:
- Start Essentials, see that the list is empty
- Update the file, adding the content blocks plugin
- Open the list again, see that the content blocks are there and install it
This feature is accepted if:
- the list of plugin descriptors can be retrieved dynamically from external sources.
- the dashboard reports appropriate feedback when external resources are unavailable
- a plugin (dashboard and/or hippo) can be used in the dashboard, which the corresponding artifacts reside in a third-party maven repository (i.e.: add repository to project POM, demo that such a plugin can be used successfully).
