[Bug 54240] Configurable system level tagPlugins.xml

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54240

--- Comment #11 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
I like the idea of using the existing mechanisms (such as
ServletContainerInitializer) but that would require other changes since:
- TagPluginManager is not created at the point where the SCI runs
- There is no mechanism to expose the TagPluginManager to the SCI

Given that changes would have to be made and that Tag plug-ins are a Tomcat
specific extension, I don't have an issue with a Tomcat specific mechanism to
configure these plug-ins. I like the META-INF/japser approach as it means a
plug-in JAR can be dropped into CATALINA_BASE/lib and be used by all web
applications on that instance.

I'll be working on applying this patch for 7.0.35.
