Benefit of changing to the new Nexus 1.4 plugin API

Hi,

As Nexus 1.4 is approaching, I'm thinking about changing my oss ldap realm to use the new (realm) plugin api instead of the old Plexus component style. Would there be any actually benefit of doing that? Nexus 1.4 will be backwards compatible so that old plugins will continue to work, right?

/Anders

Yes, the old plugins will continue to work, and it's likely that we'll
oss our ldap implementation soon as well. Instead, create some new
cool plugins with the new api ;-)

I haven't looked at the oss LDAP plugin.  The realm itself should work  
with no changes.  The user management portion has been refactored.  It  
was a more radical shift to where we needed to be.  From here on out  
we plan to follow a more normal deprecation model.

However converting from the old API to the new is stright forward.  
Which reminds me, its time to update the wiki!
