[Opensim-dev] Addon module using IApplicationPlugin does not initialised on startup (RAdmin clone)

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Hi Michelle.  The IApplicationPlugin mechanism is separate from the IRegionModule mechanism.  If you look in 
OpenSim/ApplicationPlugins/RemoteController/Resources you'll see a file called RemoteAdminPlugin.addin.xml.  I bleieve 
that you'll need to add another plugin entry to this and re-run prebuild.<sh|bat> before rebuilding to pick it up.

This is from memory and code reading, so you may have to play around a bit.  Early on in the log file you'll see the lines

22:53:22 - [PLUGINS]: Initializing addin manager
22:53:25 - [PLUGINS]: Loading extension point /OpenSim/Startup
22:53:26 - [PLUGINS]: Trying plugin /OpenSim/Startup/RestRegions
22:53:26 - [PLUGINS]: Plugin Loaded: OpenSim.ApplicationPlugins.Rest.Regions
22:53:26 - [PLUGINS]: Trying plugin /OpenSim/Startup/RemoteController
22:53:26 - [PLUGINS]: Plugin Loaded: OpenSim.ApplicationPlugins.RemoteController
22:53:26 - [PLUGINS]: Trying plugin /OpenSim/Startup/LoadRegions
22:53:26 - [PLUGINS]: Plugin Loaded: OpenSim.ApplicationPlugins.LoadRegions
22:53:26 - [PLUGINS]: Trying plugin /OpenSim/Startup/RegionModulesController
22:53:26 - [PLUGINS]: Plugin Loaded: OpenSim.ApplicationPlugins.RegionModulesController
22:53:26 - [PLUGINS]: Trying plugin /OpenSim/Startup/RestInventory
22:53:26 - [PLUGINS]: Plugin Loaded: OpenSim.ApplicationPlugins.Rest.Inventory

which will indicate whether your plugin was successfully loaded or not.

btw, thanks very much for the RemoteAdmin work.  Apologies for not being able to look at it sooner, I do plan to do so 
soon.  As usual client work keeps getting in the way :).

Best,

Justin
