public interface ExternalPluginNamespace

External Plugins are executable code that the Workspace can execute. An external plugin must define a Capability in the ExternalPluginNamespace. This namespace defines the attributes:

bnd.external.plugin    name of the plugin
objectClass            the service type of the plugin
implementation         the implementation class

There is an annotation ExternalPlugin that can be applied to a plugin.
