Hi Rufus,

Good work! ;-)

That's really great. It really does upgrade with the latest changes. :-)

This is a harmless side-effect of some changes I just made. I thought 
there were no more dependencies on the kforge system from with the 
(supposed) independent core code. Alas the plugin system was depended 
on, so I moved it in all to the core. So now (I think) there is one 
dependency of the core system (which leads to the above errors being 
printed): the core system tests currently run against a database that is 
build for the kforge core system. The core mostly doesn't mind about 
that at the moment, basically because the kforge system domain model is 
a super-set of the core domain model. But the core does find the there 
are a number of plugins registered, but it can't find the code for them 
because it's looking in the core' plugin package, and not kforge 
(because it isn't kforge).

But it doesn't matter because the system just prints an error and 
carries on, and there are no tests in the core for these "missing" plugins.

The solution is to complete the separation of the core package from the 
kforge package, and create a separate database for core tests.

Best wishes,

John.
