Plugins

<oXygen/> provides the ability to add plugins that extend the functionality of the application. The plugins are shipped as separate packages; check for new plugins on <oXygen/> site: http://www.oxygenxml.com.

One plugin consists of a separate sub-folder in the Plugins folder in the <oXygen/> installation folder. This sub-folder must contain a valid plugin.xml in accordance with the plugin.dtd file from the Plugins folder.

<oXygen/> automatically detects and loads plugins correctly installed in the Plugins folder and displays them in the Plugin option from the Preferences dialog.
