Plugin:

foo()
bar()
getValue()
setValue()



Service:

getPlugins(args...)
capabilities()  ->  "pluginid:service"



SwingConfigurator:

getConfigurationComponent(plugin)
capabilities()  ->  "pluginid:config"




OpenRocketSimulationListener extends SimulationListener implements Service, SwingConfigurator:


constructor:
  pluginid = class name
  

getPlugins():
  return new this

capabilities: pluginid:service, pluginid:config

getConfigurationComponent(plugin)
  plugin.getConfigurationComponent()

abstract getConfigurationComponent()





Types of plugins:


AtmosphericModel
 - Name -> dropdown
 - Config component -> dialog window (or button)
 - stateful, non-dynamic
 - stored
 

SimulationListener
 - Name + menu position -> Add extension menu
 - Config component -> dialog after edit button
 - stateful, (dynamic?)
 - stored
 

OptimizationModifier
 - contains its own name, description, related object
 - config N/A
 - stateful, dynamic
 - not stored
 
 
OptimizationParameter
 - name
 - config N/A
 - stateful, (dynamic?)
 - not stored
 

PluginDialogWindow
 - name + menu position -> Menu
 - stateful, non-dynamic
 - not stored
 

Motor
 - Name -> Config tab
 - Config component -> tab contents ????
 - or a separate configuration interface?
 - stored



Name is common  -  out, instead have name separately in plugin interfaces?
Menu position used twice  -  out

Leave common configuration out
 -> :config supported by those that make sense
 -> may have separate interface from SwingConfigurator (e.g. SwingMotorConfigurator)

Motor
 -> :loader separately?  for injecting placeholders
    or store data and call loaders later
