EngineFactory

$ NAMESPACE="name_of_my" rails plugin new name_of_my_plugin -m https://raw.githubusercontent.com/projecthydra-labs/engine_factory/master/lib/template.rb

Explanation:

This Rails plugin template applies some of the new gem conventions for ProjectHydra, though may be useful for others as well:

• Remove the MIT-LICENSE and replace with APACHE2
• Replace the README.rdoc with README.md
• Apply bundler's gemspec syntax for :files, :test_files, and :executables
• For a Rails plugin engine, some opinionated defaults are applied.
• Add rspec as a development dependency

If you run the template with a NAMESPACE environment variable set then this template will also do its best to allow for a namespaced gem.

Example: If you specify the NAMESPACE as "hydra" and the plugin is "hydra_my_plugin" then this template will create a Hydra::MyPlugin gem instead of the usual HydraMyPlugin.
