Unify paths to plugin static files

[redhog]

Currently javascript files are available at /javascripts/lib/PLUGINNAME/static/js/.... other static files are available at /static/plugins/PLUGINNAME/static/... this is not very obvious...

How about implementing one of the following... ?

http	fs	example
/static/<plugin>/*	path/to/<plugin>/static/*	http://ether.pad/static/ep_apples/js/foo.js
/static/<type>/<plugin>/*	path/to/<plugin>/static/<type>/*	http://ether.pad/static/js/ep_apple/foo.js
/static/plugin/<plugin>/*	path/to/<plugin>/*	http://ether.pad/static/plugin/ep_apple/js/foo.js
/static/lib/<plugin>/*	path/to/<plugin>/*	http://ether.pad/static/lib/ep_apple/js/foo.js

I think mapping /javascripts/lib/:plugin_name/ to path/to/<plugin>/static/js/. Addressing the JS module through static does work, but it precludes (useful, though unimplemented) packaging. The inclusion of /static/js in the paths would be great to get rid of (though simply placing files in the module’s root directory may make more sense).

Closing because it would be a breaking change for little gain.
