Installing grails plugins in a runtime

I'm working on a modular grails application and I'm interested in registering / installing grails plugins during a runtime, preferably without having to restart the application. Is it technically possible? How it can be done?

Thanks

While it might be possible to hack the plugin system completely apart and make this work in some fashion it's not really feasible.

Given the way plugins within a Grails application are installed (documentation) and that the entire plugin system is designed to be used at build time I would advise against even attempting this.

If you are looking for a modular approach to installing and removing portions of your application at runtime you might be better off looking into OSGI.
