Notes 851 has an easy way to deploy a plugin to the widget catalog
Category None
Bookmark :
The recommended way for deploying a plug-in is using the widget catalog. Right now you have to manually create the extension.xml file that contains the pointers to the feature and updatesite.
In the upcoming 8.5.1 release that task is automated.
Click on the "configure a widget" icon, and this screen pops-up, with a new option:
Enter the url of the updatesite, select one or more features, et voila. The features are added to your widget-sidebar. From there you can share those widgets.
A policy setting allows you to publish all widgets from one or more specific categories to be published to all users.
Disclaimer: this is based on beta software, so it's subject to change.
