Minimal Cockpit "history plugins" for Camunda >= 7.14.0

Really nice, thanks for sharing, @datakurre. Quick question: How can I “blend” your plugin into the cockpit library when I’m using the Spring Boot approach with Camunda. There, the library comes as a dependency “org.camunda.bpm.webapp:camunda-webapp-webjar:7.14.0”. I also read https://camunda.com/blog/2020/08/all-new-frontend-plugin-system-for-cockpit-starting-with-camunda-bpm-7-14/ but couldn’t find a description to add it to the cockpit with an external reference. My assumption is that I have to patch this library, i.e. get the jar file, get your plugin files and patch the webapp jar with your files and then use that newly patch jar file. Is my assumption correct? If yes, is there anybody out there having done that already, with some script magic to share here? Thanks.
