Eclipse plug-ins embody an architectural pattern for building an
application from constituent parts. This article presents an
in-depth view of the participant roles and collaborations of
this architectural pattern, as they exist in an instance of the
Eclipse workbench. The goal is to provide an understanding of
plug-ins, and of how plug-in extensions are defined and
processed, independently of the mechanics of using the Eclipse
workbench to produce plug-ins.
