    Description

      Hi Guys,

      In Kaamelot Plugin, I provided 2 Portlets with different Configuration but with the same rendering.

      Under JIRA 3.10, I declared the thumbnail using file-server Servlet with download/resources.

      Declarations was as follow :

      	<resource type="download" name="fastworklog" location="portlets/dashboard/thumbnails/fastworklog.png" />
	<resource type="download" name="corner_fastworklog" location="portlets/dashboard/thumbnails/corner_fastworklog.png" />

	<webwork1 key="Actions" name="Actions Added" class="java.lang.Object">
		...
	</webwork1>

	<portlet key="fast-worklog-on-request" name="Fast WorkLog" class="com.atlassian.jira.portal.portlets.FastWorklogPortletOnRequest">
		...
		<thumbnail>download/resources/jira.plugin.kaamelot.core:Actions/fastworklog</thumbnail>
		...
	</portlet>

	<portlet key="fast-worklog" name="Fast WorkLog" class="com.atlassian.jira.portal.portlets.FastWorklogPortlet">
		...
		<thumbnail>download/resources/jira.plugin.kaamelot.core:Actions/fastworklog</thumbnail>
		...
	</portlet>

      Since JIRA 3.13 (perhaps 3.11 or 3.12, I do not have verified), the usage of file-server Servlet for thumbnail seems to be forced (See KAAM-260).
      Then, I modified declarations as follow : 

      	<resource type="download" name="fastworklog" location="portlets/dashboard/thumbnails/fastworklog.png" />
	<resource type="download" name="corner_fastworklog" location="portlets/dashboard/thumbnails/corner_fastworklog.png" />

	<portlet key="fast-worklog-on-request" name="Fast WorkLog" class="com.atlassian.jira.portal.portlets.FastWorklogPortletOnRequest">
		...
		<thumbnail>portlets/dashboard/thumbnails/fastworklog.png</thumbnail>
		...
	</portlet>

	<portlet key="fast-worklog" name="Fast WorkLog" class="com.atlassian.jira.portal.portlets.FastWorklogPortlet">
		...
		<thumbnail>portlets/dashboard/thumbnails/fastworklog.png</thumbnail>
		...
	</portlet>

      In practical, it is more easy for my plugin and any others, but in details, more with coming Plugin Version 2, we lost possibility to extend a module of an existing plugin in another plugin.

      Imagine that my Portlets was provided twi different Plugins, it would be useful to share some resource !
      Do you agree ?

      Then, is there a way to define explcitely that a ressources is or not embedded in current plugin.
