Summary0014542: client side plugin loading and static linking
Descriptionfollowing up on the mail list discussion
http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/paraview/2014-January/030353.html [^]

in a statically linked PV when the user connects they're faced with an extremely long list of plugins that need to be loaded on the client side.

it would be a huge improvement with static linking if for built in plugins the user was not required to do any client side loading.

one step in that direction would be to use the REQUIRED_ON_SERVER flag where ever possible.

A fix for this issue is now in git/master. Now in static builds, plugins don't automatically load themselves up. Users have to load them using the "Plugin Manager" dialog exactly as with shared builds.

This is sort of a developer tag in git and I am not making a special build to test. Closing.
