Perhaps > azureus could provide a similar solution. The current update/plugin implementation in the upstream Azureus has security problems. For instance, the implementation of shared plugins is dangerous for multi-user systems. Azureus' current implementation has it so I can install a plugin and every other user on the system will end up running it. No special permissions are needed to install plugins. This is a real security problem. Also, AFAIK, updates and plugin jars aren't signed, so there's no telling what exactly you'll end up running. After some discussion with others, I decided to disable Azureus' updating mechanism, and to prevent casual users from installing their own plugins. I've also bundled a couple of popular plugins with Azureus. I can add more if people ask for specific plugins.
Well it would be nice if SafePeer and RSS Feed were included.
(In reply to comment #2) > Well it would be nice if SafePeer and RSS Feed were included. Ok, I'll do that. Thanks!
What's the status of adding SafePeer and RSS Feed to Azureus in extras? These are the two very useful plugins.
But you can install plugins by putting the jar's etc in .azureus/plugins/
I'm having trouble finding source code for an RSS feed plugin that doesn't require jdk 1.5 to build. Any pointers?
