Pardon me for just copycatting… But Dr. James Adam’s Engines is such a greatly useful plugin to any Rails web developer. It allows you to reuse plugins, controllers, views, …, (almost anything) among your Rails apps using enginesplugins.

A little bit from the official news:

The new 1.2 release also represents a psychological “reboot” for the engines plugin. Thanks to some of the features we managed to contribute to Rails itself, any plugin can be enhanced by the engines plugin. This is the final blow to the unfortunate misunderstanding that “engines are evil”, because there’s literally no such thing as “an engine” anymore. The engines plugin is just a plugin that makes other plugins more powerful.

…

Controllers, models, helpers, components – any plugin can now carry these payloads, and they become instantly available when the engines plugin is loaded – without any changes to your plugin. I’ve already said this, but it’s worth saying again: there is no such thing as an “engine” anymore; they’re all just plugins.

See? I’ve already told you that before.
