Archetypes
Archetype descriptors can now specify a singleton flag, to indicate that only a single instance should be active at a time. e.g.:
<archetype name="party.organisationPractice.1.0" latest="true" singleton="true" type="org.openvpms.component.business.domain.im.party.Party" displayName="Practice">
Plugins
In order to support automatic plugin upgrades, plugins should now include an Atlassian-Plugin-Key in the bundle instructions to maven-bundle-plugin e.g.:
<plugin> <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId> <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId> <extensions>true</extensions> <configuration> <instructions> <Atlassian-Plugin-Key>${project.groupId}.${project.artifactId}</Atlassian-Plugin-Key> <Bundle-SymbolicName>${project.groupId}.${project.artifactId}</Bundle-SymbolicName> //...
