Just wanted to pass along how awesome using the

shell_command

has been. Without going through all the effort of making a custom plugin, we were able to hermetically install a functioning

rabbitmq

server and

jdk

to run some tests that have more complicated system dependencies. The ability to cache these installations, seamlessly handle concurrency considerations, and eventually share with others through remote caching/execution is a huge win for our repository.

can we see the code?\

Hmm likely not :(

I don't necessarily mean the exact code but something functionally equivalent? I'm really struggling to find good examples for pants related things. Any advice here?
