Abstract

Plugin loading can be optimized. A service can use a plugin loader to load plugins on a computing device. When the plugin loader loads plugins, the plugins can be configured to determine their load statuses and report such load statuses to the plugin loader. After receiving the load statuses, the plugin loader can store the load statuses and then notify the service to request a restart. When the service restarts the plugin loader, the plugin loader can use the load statuses to determine which of the plugins should be loaded. In this way, the service and plugin loader can ensure that only plugins that are appropriate for a particular computing device will remain loaded.
