Abstract

The dynamic resolution of dependent components of a plug-in including, during a runtime of an application, dynamically accessing, for a plug-in invoked by the application, a manifest listing classes capable of providing an interface for the plug-in, and dependent components that provide functionality to the plug-in, and dynamically instantiating a class instance of at least one of the listed classes. Furthermore, the process includes dynamically resolving the listed dependent components, and dynamically loading the plug-in.
