Plugins Index

Plugins are a way of extending Forrest to satisfy site-specific needs. For more information on plugins see Extending Forrest with Plugins .

This page lists all plugins that have been recognised by the Apache Forrest project. There are two sections to this page, the first is the released plugins, The second is the whiteboard plugins. Any plugins in the released section have been verified as working in the versions of Forrest specified. However, this verification does not imply that the plugins are mature, merely that they work as documented. See the plugin documentation for how mature they are and the features they support.

The second section lists plugins in the whiteboard, that is plugins that may change considerably in how they work before their first official release. These plugins may not be fully funcitonal, in most cases they are usable, but use them with caution as they are not considered stable.

Note
If you have created a plugin that is not listed here please let us know.
