Hi  
I want to build an external kibana plugin. I create plugin with `node scripts/generate_plugin my_plugin_name` then in the plugin directory `yarn build`  
Its work on 7.6 and create build folder with zip file in a few seconds but in 7.8 that command try to build whole kibana in a few minutes.  
how can i build my plugin in kibana 7.8?  
is it possible to build whole kibana with external plugin?

Check [this](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/70412) may help  
There are some file missed that need to be added manually like` packahe.json` & `.kibana-plugin-helpers.json`
