EPlugins
Overview of EPlugin
The EPlugin system allows for modular extensions to Evolution by providing
a simple, practical, language-neutral approach to extending Evolution's core
components. Thanks to EPlugins, Evolution users can enjoy extended
functionality and developers can easily enhance Evolution with minimal effort.
It is not a scripting language, although it could be used to add a scripting
language to Evolution. It is a framework of helper utilities to aid
application development and simultaneously provide hooks whereby external code
can access internal features — both user interface and behavioural.
EPlugin's goals
- Provide a language independent invocation mechanism
- Allow extension of parts of the user interface and processing elements
- Require minimal extra or foreign code to implement in the core application
- Require minimal interface code to implement the extensions
- Not to impact performance or increase resource usage unduly
- Versioning
- The ability to extended itself fairly easily
