Plugins

Several plugins are available to expand the functionalities of a GeoNetwork instance.

Plugins are distributed in the form of single JAR files downloaded separately from the main GeoNetwork distribution. These files are available as ZIP archives alongside the main geonetwork.war file:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/geonetwork/files/GeoNetwork_opensource/v4.4.6/

How to install a plugin?

1. Download the ZIP file of the plugin
2. Unzip the archive in the WEB-INF/lib folder of your GeoNetwork installation
3. Restart the GeoNetwork server

See below for more information and instructions specific to each plugin.

Data storages: gn-datastorage-*

Support for these data storage interfaces is available through the following plugins:

• S3: gn-datastorage-s3
  See the detailed documentation here
• CMIS: gn-datastorage-cmis
• Jcloud: gn-datastorage-jcloud

Datahub integration: gn-datahub-integration

The Datahub application is a modern facade to GeoNetwork provided by the GeoNetwork-UI project.

Using the gn-datahub-integration plugin allows easily deploying multiple Datahub frontends for each portal and subportal set up in your GeoNetwork installation (see documentation for portals here).

Enabling the plugin

Simply unzip the gn-plugin-datahub-integration archive and copy its content in the WEB-INF/lib folder of your GeoNetwork installation.

Configuration

Please refer to the Portal configuration page to set up a Datahub interface once the plugin is enabled on your GeoNetwork installation,

Building the plugin

Use the -Pdatahub-integration profile when building GeoNetwork: the plugin will be packaged as a JAR file in plugins/gn-datahub-integration/target/.
