---------------------------------

[~tzssangglass] [~bumurzokov] Hi, I would like to work on this issue as part of GSOC 2022. Is it still up for grabs? Should I start working on a draft proposal to share with you guys?

> *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.
