Description

Currently plugins requiring another plugin not yet loaded will cause a hard error, forcing plugin authors to somehow name their plugins to have a name that will be sorted after the names of all the other plugins they rely on in the default sort order (alphabetical I'd guess). See source:/tags/3.3.0/lib/redmine/plugin.rb#L236 for the method to require other plugins, which will throw a hard error on line 251 on Plugin.find when the plugin hasn't been loaded yet.

This was something handled in ChiliProject, see https://github.com/chiliproject/chiliproject/commit/a24a24eb1980625fbc4558fc44f15498e883d2d9

Would something like that be of interest to Redmine? We could take care of adapting that patch to current Redmine trunk.
