= Analysis =

== Overview ==
Depends on the chosen plug-in framework.
We need a library that will reduce the effort of working with plug-ins.

== Task requirements ==
 * The library should have capabilities for
  * Listing extension points of a given plug-in
  * Listing extensions implementing a given extension point.
   * Directly extending the extension points
   * Extending an extension point, inheriting the given one.
  * Easy instantiation of extension classes
  * Getting plug-in meta information
 * Find places in the application where it can be used and integrate it.

== Task result ==
The result must be source code.

== How to demo ==
Show an use of each of the required capabilities.

= Design =
The chosen plug-in framework is Apache Felix.[[BR]]

[source:/trunk/sophie2-platform/modules/org.sophie2.core.modularity/src/test/java/org/sophie2/core/modularity/FakeDemoTest.java DemoTest source code]

= Implementation = 
For now we have our implementation in modularity module for starting the modules.[[BR]]
The current code can be easily converted into Apache Felix way to do that.[[BR]]

= Comments = 
 * Make diagram in the next revision. (Pav)
