             Summary: Apache APISIX: Java Plugin Runner Improvement
                 Key: COMDEV-451
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-451
             Project: Community Development
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: GSoC/Mentoring ideas
            Reporter: Bobur Umurzokov


*Background:*

 

At the moment, the Java runner plugin requires you to use an existing template project and change it according to one’s needs.

*Task:*

Improve developer experience on the existing Java plugin runner so that we can attract and increase the number of users from the Java community.



*Limitations:*

 
 * The architecture doesn’t manage multiple plugins. All need to be set in the same project
 * The standard Java unit of deployment is the JAR.
 * The plugin doesn’t allow for other widespread JVM-based languages ({_}e.g.{_}, Scala, Kotlin, Clojure, Groovy). Though it would be technically feasible, we would need to change the template’s language

*Requirements:*

The new plugin runner:
 * MUST use the JAR as the unit of deployment
 * MUST not require the usage of a project template
 * MAY require the plugin to follow a certain class hierarchy ({_}i.e.{_}, extends JavaPlugin)
 * MAY use a more specific format to enforce a structure
 * MUST allow multiple plugins to be deployed

 * MUST use isolated classloader for each plugin
 * MUST allow any JVM-compatible bytecode to run, whatever the language it was generated from
 * MAY allow hot reloading of Java plugins
 * MAY require a single JAR per plugin (to ease the classpath management of shared libraries)
 * MUST define a minimum JVM version

 

*Difficulty:* Normal
*Project size:* ~350 hours.
