This plug-in seems to be exactly what i have been looking for and was on the verge of creating something on my own. Am glad I stumbled into this.

Now the questions that I have :

The current plug-in version seems to be depending on 2.15.0 whereas the latest released version of selenium is 2.18.0. So how do I configure the plugin to make use of the latest version. Is this configurable ?

The plug-in seems to run with the default mode for both the hub and the node i.e., from my understanding it mimics the following two commands which can be used normally to spawn a hub and a node.

java -jar selenium-standalone-2.18.0.jar -role hub
java -jar selenium-standalone-2.18.0.jar -role node -hub http://localhost:4444/grid/register -port

So how do I tweak the node such that i customize it using the -nodeConfig and pass in a JSON configuration file ? Is this supported ?

How do I tweak the grid ? [ The grid can be tweaked with a yaml file configuration file or using the hubConfig parameter ? [http://code.google.com/p/selenium/source/browse/trunk/java/server/src/org/openqa/grid/common/defaults/GridParameters.properties] See here for more details.

Would appreciate if you could please help me with the answers for this. Kindly let me know incase you need more information pertaining to what exactly am I talking about and I can fill in more for you here.
