Install Plugin Dynamically

Imports a plug-in. If a plug-in with the same name is already installed, the import will fail unless the overwrite parameter is set to true. The plug-in binary content must be available as multi-part content (see RFC-2387 for details). Details of working with multi-part resources depend on the used client HTTP/REST library. For example, in Spring it will look like:

Sample client code:
-------------------
String url = "https://localhost:8281/vco/api/plugins/";
MultiValueMap parts = new LinkedMultiValueMap
        ();
         
Resource r = new FileSystemResource("D:/path/to/plugin.dar");
         
parts.put("file", Arrays.asList(r));
         
parts.put("categoryId", "");
         
new RestTemplate().postForLocation(url, parts);
         
-------------------

In a clustered setup this may not function properly. Use the ControlCenter's API instead - https://localhost:8283/vco-controlcenter/docs/#/plugin-controller.
