| 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. |
