The base class for all KDevelop plugins.
Plugin is a component which is loaded into KDevelop shell at startup or by request.
Each plugin should have corresponding .desktop file with a description.
.desktop file template looks like:

Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Service
Name=

X-KDevelop-Version=
X-KDevelop-Scope=
X-KDevelop-Properties=
X-KDevelop-Args=
@endcode
<b>Description of parameters in .desktop file:</b>
- <i>Name</i> is a non-translatable name of a plugin, it is used in KTrader queries
to search for a plugin (required);
- <i>GenericName</i> is a translatable name of a plugin, it is used to show
plugin names in GUI (required);
- <i>Comment</i> is a short description about the plugin (optional);
- <i>Icon</i> is a plugin icon (preferred);
- <i>X-KDevelop-Plugin-Version</i> is a version of a plugin (optional);
- <i>X-KDevelop-Plugin-Homepage</i> is a home page of a plugin (optional);
- <i>X-KDevelop-Plugin-License</i> is a license (optional). can be: GPL, LGPL, BSD, Artistic,
QPL or Custom. If this property is not set, license is considered as unknown;
- <i>X-KDevelop-Plugin-BugsEmailAddress</i> is an email address for bug reports (optional);
- <i>X-KDevelop-Plugin-Copyright</i> is a copyright statement (optional);
- <i>X-KDE-Library</i> is a name of library which contains the plugin (required);
- <i>X-KDevelop-Version</i> is a version of KDevelop interfaces which is supported by the plugin (required);
- <i>X-KDevelop-Scope</i> is a scope of a plugin (see below for explanation) (required);
- <i>X-KDevelop-Args</i> is a list of additional arguments passed to plugins constructor (optional);
- <i>X-KDevelop-Properties</i> is a list of properties which this plugin supports, see @ref Profile class documentation for explanation (required to work with shells that support profiles).
.
Plugin scope can be either:
- Core
- Global
- Project
.
Global plugins are plugins which require only shell to be loaded and do not operate on @ref KDevProject interface and/or do not use project wide information.\n
Core plugins are global plugins which offer some important "core" functionality and thus
are not selectable by user in plugin configuration pages.\n
Project plugins require a project to be loaded and are usually loaded/unloaded among with the project.
If your plugin use @ref KDevProject interface and/or operate on project-related information then this is the project plugin.
@sa KDevGenericFactory class documentation for an information about plugin instantiation
and writing factories for plugins.
@sa KDevCore class documentation for an information about features which are available to plugins
from shell applications.
