A package is a plugin that defines a list of features (such as dashboards, datasources etc.) that can be installed by an LIVE admin user and a list of required entities and plugins. These definitions should be stored inside a manifest file, which can be either yaml or json. An example of a package source structure is shown below:
- live-plugins/plugin-my-package
- pom.xml
- src/main/resource
- manifest.yaml
All packages require the plugin-package-manager. Without it, LIVE will not recognize a package plugin as a package and will not allow the admin user to install the features.
