| Plug-ins are code modules that can be easily added to or
removed from JUMP Workbench. For example, each menu item in the
JUMP Workbench is a PlugIn. Typically plug-ins are executed with a
menu item -- FeatureInstaller has methods for adding plug-ins as
menu items. Alternatively, a plug-in need not be associated with a
menu-item; it might, for example, simply run some code when the
Workbench starts up.
"Built-in" plug-ins are configured in a Setup class. Third-party plug-ins reside
in a JAR file that also contains an Extension class that configures them.
During development, third-party plug-ins may be specified in the
workbench-properties.xml file, to avoid having to build a JAR file.
