Won't you have to modify the "core code of jforum" to get it to recognize your "plugin?"

And you certainly don't give much information as to what you are trying to accomplish with your plugin ... details may be more helpful for a meaningful response.

thanks for the immediate reply.. here's what I want...

I have to modify the core code of jforum 'coz I have other implementation that needs to modify the code. But I do not want to modify the core code. I just remain the original code.

For example in JForum.java I have additional module, and put JForum.java to another package let's say com.test so what I need now is to use the new JForum.java located in that package (com.test) and retain the original core code.

So I think plugin is the right term for this. lets say I create pluginJForum.jar in which the new JForum.java(com.test.JForum) was inside the plugin and use that on my Jforum. instead of using the original.

Do I explain this clear? please let me know i need help on this

Thanks

I second your thoughts, and a plugin engine would be very very helpful.
I have been evaluating some frameworks, and so far, http://jpf.sf.net is by far the best I found.

However, there is not - at least currently - any planned date to refactor JForum in order to support a plugin system. This is desired, but not done so far.
